The equation for the Gravitational force on an object is F=GMm/r^2
Where:
G is the gravitational constant
M is the mass of one object
m is the mass of the other
r is the radius between the centres of mass of the two objects
So therefore the 'pull' of gravity depends on the mass of the objects involved and how far apart they are.

∙ 14y agoGravitational force is determined by the mass of the object and distance. So the bigger the mass the more pull it has (we weigh more on Earth than the moon) and the less distant the more pull (we are pulled toward Earth because it is closer even though the Sun is more massive).

What is the pull of gravity?
The pull of gravity is what pulls things down. This is on lots of planets.
What is a measure of the pull of gravity on a sample of matter?
gravity
How does gravity function as a pull or push?
A pull. Gravity is always attractive, so in the long run, gravity is the deciding factor in the motions of planetary bodies
How can gravity work with ice?
Gravity will pull on anything that has mass.
Push and pull objects?
everything that gravity can have a push or a pull
What does the pull of gravity of heavenly bodies depend on?
Gravitational force
Does gravity depend on density?
Gravity does not depend on density. Gravity is the gravitational pull that is invisible and cannot be touched or changed. Density is how much matter is packed within an object, which can be changed. Gravity and density are two totally different things, and are in no way related, therefore gravity does not depend on density.
Why fountain pens are not used in space?
Fountain pens depend on gravity to pull the ink down to the nib. In Zero gravity, they don't work.
What geographic factors does the value of gravity depend on?
The mass of the planet, and the distance from the center of gravity. Gravitational pull is a relation between the mass of two bodies and their distance apart.
What object changes mass of an object when the pull of gravity changes?
The mass of an object doesn't depend on the gravitational force on the object.
What is the pull of gravity on a camera?
the pull of gravity on a camera is its weight
What is the pull of gravity?
The pull of gravity is what pulls things down. This is on lots of planets.
Is gravity a push or a pull factor?
Gravity is a pull from the earths core. it is known as a "force"
The measure of the pull of gravity?
Weight is the measure of the pull of gravity. Weight is the mass of an object and can be measured by using a scale.
What is pull on earth on you?
I think that's gravity. Gravity is the pull of a celestial body on other things.
What causes daily tides?
It is the gravity pull of the moon and the gravity pull of the sun that causes tides.
Is the pull of gravity a verb phrase?
No, 'the pull of gravity' is a nominal phrase. Notice that the word 'pull' acts as a noun, not a verb in this sentence.
