Here's what it states:
* Every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force that is:
* Proportional to the product of their masses: The more massive the objects, the stronger the gravitational attraction.
* Inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers: The farther apart the objects are, the weaker the gravitational attraction.
This can be expressed mathematically as:
F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2
Where:
* F is the force of gravity
* G is the gravitational constant (approximately 6.674 x 10^-11 N m^2/kg^2)
* m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects
* r is the distance between their centers
So, you can see that the force of gravity depends directly on the masses of the objects and inversely on the square of the distance between them.
