Detailed explanation-1: -Since gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces. So as two objects are separated from each other, the force of gravitational attraction between them also decreases.
Detailed explanation-2: -Gravitational force is an attraction between masses. The greater the size of the masses, the greater the size of the gravitational force (also called the gravity force). The gravitational force weakens rapidly with increasing distance between masses.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hence, according to the question, if the distance between the objects increases, then the gravitation force between them decreases.
