  • Understanding Gravitational Force: Mass and Distance
    The strength of the force of gravity between two objects is determined by two factors:

    1. Mass of the objects: The more massive the objects, the stronger the gravitational force between them. This is because gravity is a force of attraction between any two objects with mass.

    2. Distance between the objects: The closer the objects are to each other, the stronger the gravitational force. This force decreases rapidly as the distance between the objects increases. This is described by the inverse square law, meaning that if you double the distance, the force becomes four times weaker.

    In summary, more mass and less distance lead to a stronger gravitational force between two objects.
