Increasing mass increases gravity

Detailed explanation-1: -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. The gravitational force is extremely hard to detect unless at least one of the objects has a lot of mass.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mass does not change with gravity. Weight– the amount of gravity acting on (pulling down on) an object (or mass). Gravity– a natural force that pulls objects downward. Earth’s gravity pulls us and all objects downwards towards its center.
Detailed explanation-3: -Gravitational force-an attractive force that exists between all objects with mass; an object with mass attracts another object with mass; the magnitude of the force is directly proportional to the masses of the two objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects.
