Here's why:
* Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation: This law states that every particle 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 pull.
* Inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers: The farther apart the objects, the weaker the gravitational pull.
* Universal: Gravity is a fundamental force that acts on all objects with mass, regardless of their size, composition, or location.
* Weak but Significant: While gravity is the weakest of the fundamental forces, it's responsible for the formation of planets, stars, and galaxies. It keeps us grounded and the moon in orbit around Earth.
