* The product of their masses: This means that the more massive the objects are, the stronger the gravitational force between them.
* The inverse square of the distance between their centers: This means that as the distance between the objects increases, the gravitational force decreases rapidly.
In mathematical terms:
F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2
Where:
* F is the gravitational force
* G is the gravitational constant (approximately 6.674 × 10^-11 m^3 kg^-1 s^-2)
* m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects
* r is the distance between their centers
