SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -The force of gravity is directly proportional to the masses but it has an inverse relationship with the square of the distance between the masses. If the mass and distance will change then the force of gravity will get also change. Therefore, gravity is dependent on two factors: mass and distance.

Detailed explanation-2: -Gravity is affected by the size of objects and the distance between objects. A measure of the amount of matter in an object is mass. An object with a greater mass falls faster than an object with a smaller mass. When the distance between two objects increases, the force of gravity decreases.

Detailed explanation-3: -So for Newton, the force of gravity acting between the earth and any other object is directly proportional to the mass of the earth, directly proportional to the mass of the object, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates the centers of the earth and the object.

Detailed explanation-4: -Gravitational force acts on all objects in proportion to their masses. Why then, a heavy object does not fall faster than a light object? Gravitational force acts on all objects in proportion to their masses.
