Detailed explanation-1: -Gravitational forces are considered to be inherently linked to what we call ‘mass’. There is a gravitational force of attraction between every object in the universe. The size of the gravitational force is proportional to the masses of the objects and weakens as the distance between them increases.
Detailed explanation-2: -Gravity not only pulls on mass but also on light. Albert Einstein discovered this principle. If you shine a flashlight upwards, the light will grow imperceptibly redder as gravity pulls it. You can’t see the change with your eyes, but scientists can measure it.
Detailed explanation-3: -Since the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of both interacting objects, more massive objects will attract each other with a greater gravitational force. So as the mass of either object increases, the force of gravitational attraction between them also increases.
