Here's a more detailed explanation:
* Mass: The more massive the objects, the stronger the gravitational force between them. This is because mass is a measure of how much matter an object contains, and gravity is a fundamental force that acts on all matter.
* Distance: The farther apart the objects are, the weaker the gravitational force between them. This is because gravity weakens with distance, following an inverse square law. This means that if you double the distance between two objects, the gravitational force between them decreases by a factor of four.
This relationship is described by Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation:
```
F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2
```
Where:
* F is the force of gravity
* G is the gravitational constant (a universal constant)
* m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects
* r is the distance between the centers of the two objects
