  • Understanding Gravitational Force: Factors & Newton's Law
    The force of gravity between two objects depends on:

    * Mass of the objects: The more massive the objects, the stronger the gravitational force between them.

    * Distance between the objects: The closer the objects are, the stronger the gravitational force between them. This force decreases rapidly as the distance increases.

    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 × 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 simpler terms:

    * Heavier objects pull on each other more strongly.

    * Objects that are closer together pull on each other more strongly.
