* Inverse Square Law: Gravity follows an inverse square law. This means the force of gravity is proportional to the inverse of the square of the distance between two objects.
* Distance and Force: As the distance between an object and Earth increases, the force of gravity acting on that object decreases rapidly. If you double the distance, the gravitational force becomes four times weaker. If you triple the distance, the force becomes nine times weaker.
Example:
Imagine a satellite orbiting Earth. If the satellite is in low Earth orbit (relatively close to Earth), it experiences a stronger gravitational pull than a satellite in a geostationary orbit (much further away).
Important Note:
* Gravity never completely disappears, it just gets weaker and weaker with distance.
* The force of gravity depends on the mass of both objects. Earth's gravitational pull will always be stronger than the gravitational pull of a satellite, for example.
