* Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation: This fundamental law describes the force of gravity between any two objects with mass. The equation is:
F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2
* F: Force of gravity
* G: Gravitational constant (a fixed value)
* m1: Mass of the first object
* m2: Mass of the second object
* r: Distance between the centers of the two objects
* The Relationship: As you can see from the equation, the force of gravity (F) is directly proportional to the product of the two masses (m1 * m2). This means:
* If the mass of one object increases, the gravitational force between the two objects will also increase.
In simpler terms: The more massive an object is, the stronger its gravitational pull. This is why planets like Jupiter have a much stronger gravitational pull than Earth, and why the Sun has the strongest gravitational pull in our solar system.
