Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The greater the distance from an object, the ____ gravity it will have.
A
more
B
less
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

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: -Gravity is also affected by the distance between two objects. The thing to keep in mind is that the strength of gravity decreases if the distance between two objects increases.

Detailed explanation-3: -The magnitude of this force depends upon the mass of each object and the distance between the centers of the two objects. Mathematically, we say the force of gravity depends directly upon the masses of the objects and inversely upon the distance between the objects squared.

Detailed explanation-4: -Most gravitons exist in a cloud around the object. As distance from the object increases, the density of the graviton cloud goes down, so there is less gravitational attraction.

Detailed explanation-5: -This force of gravitational attraction is directly dependent upon the masses of both objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates their centers. This means that as you move away from an object the gravitational force decreases.
