1. Mass: The more massive the objects are, the stronger the gravitational force between them. This is because mass is a measure of how much matter an object contains, and more matter means a stronger gravitational pull.
2. Distance: The closer the objects are to each other, the stronger the gravitational force between them. This is because the force of gravity decreases rapidly with distance. The relationship is inverse square, meaning if you double the distance, the force becomes four times weaker.
In summary:
* More mass = Stronger gravity
* Closer distance = Stronger gravity
This relationship is described by Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, which states:
* F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2
Where:
* F is the force of gravity
* G is the gravitational constant (a universal value)
* m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects
* r is the distance between the centers of the two objects
