Step-by-step explanation:
Newton's law of universal gravitation states that every object attracts every other object with a force. For any two objects, this force is directly proportional to the mass of each object. The greater the masses, the greater the force of attraction between them. Newton also deduced that this force decreases as the square of the distance between the centers of the objects increases. The farther away the objects are from each other, the less the force of attraction between them.
