Here's a bit more about it:
* Universal Law of Gravitation: Sir Isaac Newton discovered the law of universal gravitation, which states that every particle of matter 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 them: The farther apart the objects are, the weaker the force.
* Earth's Gravity: The most obvious example of gravity is the force that keeps us on the ground. It's the force of attraction between the Earth and everything on its surface.
* Other Examples: Gravity is responsible for many things in the universe, including:
* The orbits of planets around stars
* The formation of stars and galaxies
* The tides on Earth
