GEOLOGY

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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mass always stays the same, but weight can change depending on how much gravity is acting upon an object. Cool fact: Any two masses have a gravitational attraction for one another, and the greater the mass, the greater the pull.

Detailed explanation-3: -The force of gravity depends directly upon the masses of the two objects, and inversely on the square of the distance between them. This means that the force of gravity increases with mass, but decreases with increasing distance between objects.

Detailed explanation-4: -Objects with a small mass have a weak gravitational force while those with a large mass have a strong force. You are held down to the Earth’s surface because it has a strong gravitational force.

Detailed explanation-5: -According to theory, the reason mass is proportional to gravity is because everything with mass emits tiny particles called gravitons. These gravitons are responsible for gravitational attraction. The more mass, the more gravitons.
