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).
