* Mass of the objects: The more massive the objects, the stronger the gravitational force between them. This means a more massive object exerts a stronger gravitational pull than a less massive one.
* Distance between the objects: The closer the objects are, the stronger the gravitational force between them. As the distance between the objects increases, the gravitational force decreases rapidly.
In summary, the gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
This relationship is described by Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation:
F = G * (m1 * m2) / r²
Where:
* F is the gravitational force
* G is the gravitational constant (approximately 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
