Newton’s law of universal gravitation states that

    • the attractive force between two objects is directly proportional to their distance and inversely proportional to their masses.
    • the attractive force between two objects is directly proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
    • every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force which is proportional to their weights and inversely proportional to the distance between them.
    • the strength of gravity between any two objects depends on the masses of the objects and their distance from the Sun.
