SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer: The gravitational force of attraction between two masses is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the masses.

Detailed explanation-3: -The force of gravitation between two bodies is given as, F = GM1M2R2. Hence it depends upon the product of their masses, the distance between them and gravitational constant but not on the sum of their masses.

Detailed explanation-4: -From the above expression gravitational force of attraction between two masses is inversely proportional to the square of distance between them, i.e. F ∝1r2.
