Force of gravity is inversely proportional to
A
Mass
B
Weight
C
Distance
D
Time
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The magnitude of the gravitational force between two bodies is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Detailed explanation-2: -Newton’s universal law of gravitation The force is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers of mass. This is called an inverse-square law.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
