What is the law of universal gravitation?

• The more mass an object has, the more gravitational attraction it has. The greater the distance between two objects, the less their gravitational attraction.

• Gravity pulled together a cloud of interstellar gas and dust (called a nebula). As the nebula spun, gravity condensed the gases into the center to form the Sun. Eventually, the gravity of smaller pieces of matter drew objects to them to form the planets.

• It states that any two masses attract each other more when they are more massive (greater mass) and closer together (less distance).

What does the Law of Universal Gravitation state?

• Objects in space repel each other.

• Every object in the universe attracts every other object, affected by mass and distance.

• Gravity only affects objects on Earth.

• Only planets can attract each other.
