* 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 the more matter there is, the stronger its gravitational pull.
* Distance: The farther apart the objects are, the weaker the gravitational force between them. This is because gravity weakens with distance. The force decreases with the square of the distance between the objects.
This relationship is described by Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation:
F = G * (m1 * m2) / r²
Where:
* F is the force of gravity
* 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
In summary:
* Greater mass = Stronger gravitational force
* Greater distance = Weaker gravitational force
