• mass and distance 
• mass and matter
• distance and weight 
• weight and mass

There is gravitational force between you and your desk. This gravitational force is very small because...

• the masses are tiny compared to Earth's mass

• it doesn't need to be large

• the distance between the objects is small

• it is a noncontact force
