* Proportional to the product of their masses
* Inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.
Mathematically, this can be expressed as:
F = G * (m₁ * m₂ / r²)
Where:
* F is the force of gravity between the two objects.
* G is the gravitational constant, approximately equal to 6.674 x 10⁻¹¹ N⋅m²/kg².
* m₁ and m₂ are the masses of the two objects.
* r is the distance between the centers of the two objects.
This equation tells us that the force of gravity is:
* Directly proportional to the product of the masses of the two objects. Meaning, if you double the mass of one object, you double the force of gravity.
* Inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects. Meaning, if you double the distance, you reduce the force of gravity to one-fourth of its original value.
