* Larger masses create a stronger gravitational force. If you double the mass of one object, you double the gravitational force between them. If you double the mass of both objects, you quadruple the force.
Here's a more formal way to express this:
Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation:
* F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2
Where:
* F is the gravitational force between the two objects
* G is the gravitational constant (a fixed value)
* m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects
* r is the distance between the centers of the two objects
Key takeaway: The more massive the objects, the stronger the gravitational attraction between them. This is why the Earth's gravity is much stronger than that of a small rock.
