Question
effects of gravity
the strength of the force of gravity depends on mass and distance. more massive objects exert a greater gravitational attraction than less massive objects. for example, the sun exerts a greater force of gravity on an object than earth has on the same object at the same distance. as distance between objects increases, the force of gravity decreases.
