Yes. The gravitational attraction between the sun and earth is what keeps the earth bound to the sun in orbital motion, even though there's 93,000,000 miles of total vacuum between them.

Nothing is known that can 'shield' or stop gravitation from going through it.

Does a vacuum space have gravitational force?

No, there is no mass there to have any gravitational force.


Can you have a gravitational force in a vacuum?

Yes.


Is there is friction if the object is moving in vacuum with 0 gravitational force?

No, there is not.


Is the gravitational force turned off in a vacuum?

Physically put, No. A vacuum has no particles of gas in it, but there is still gravity it just has nothing to act upon. Philisophically, it is much like the tree falling in the woods with no one there to hear it. That is to say the gravity only exists if it can be perceived by one of the senses.


How long does the gravitational force between the earth and the moon stretch?

The force is one that acts between the Earth and the Moon and nowhere else. But the gravitational force fields of both objects extend to infinity, reducing as 1 / distance^2.


Does dark matter exert gravitational force?

Yes, dark matter exerts gravitational force, even though it does not emit or interact with light. Its presence can be inferred through its gravitational effects on visible matter and light.


What kind of force acts through distance?

The gravitational force is an example of a force that acts through distance. It is a force of attraction between two objects that is determined by their masses and the distance between them.


What is the force of attaraction between two objects in a vacuum?

In a vacuum, the force of attraction between two objects is determined by their masses and the distance between them, as described by Newton's law of universal gravitation. This force decreases as the distance between the objects increases and increases as the masses of the objects increase.


Is particles Gravitons responsible for gravitational force?

Yes. It is commonly believed that the gravitational force is transferred through a particle called the graviton. This particle is hypothetical - it has not been observed yet.


Is their gravity in vacuum?

Yes. Gravity attracts every speck of mass in the universe to every other one, even though in almost all cases, there's nothing but vacuum between them.


In which direction will the drag force act if the gravitational force is less than the buoyant force?

If the gravitational force is less than the buoyant force, the drag force will act in the opposite direction of the gravitational force.


Compared to the electric force the gravitational force between 2 protons is?

The electric force between two protons is much stronger than the gravitational force between them. The electric force is about 10^36 times stronger than the gravitational force at the atomic scale. This is why charged particles interact primarily through electromagnetic forces and not gravitational forces.
