What is gravity?

Back

Gravity is a force that attracts two bodies towards each other, depending on their masses and the distance between them.

What is the relationship between distance and gravity?

Back

As the distance between two objects increases, the gravitational force between them decreases.

What is the effect of gravity on weight?

Back

Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object. More gravity means more weight.

What is the formula for gravitational force?

Back

The formula for gravitational force is F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2, where F is the force, G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses, and r is the distance between the centers of the two masses.
