Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation
The force of gravity (F) between two objects is determined by:
* Mass of the objects (m1 and m2): More massive objects have a stronger gravitational pull.
* Distance between their centers (r): The closer the objects, the stronger the force of gravity.
The formula is:
F = G * (m1 * m2) / r²
Where G is the gravitational constant (a very small number).
Changes that Increase Gravity:
* Increase the mass of either object: More mass means a stronger gravitational pull.
* Decrease the distance between the objects: The closer they are, the stronger the force of gravity.
Changes that Decrease Gravity:
* Decrease the mass of either object: Less mass means a weaker pull.
* Increase the distance between the objects: The farther apart they are, the weaker the force.
