As the objects move farther apart, the gravitational force between them decreases.
Every time the distance between them doubles, the force between them drops 75%.

If the masses do not change but the objects are moved farther apart r becomes bigger will be gravitational force become stronger or weaker?
If the masses do not change, but the objects are moved farther apart, the gravitational force becomes weaker, due to the distance between the objects.
What reduces gravitational force between objects?
Answer The Universal Law of Gravitation states the gravitational force between any two objects of mass can be calculated with the equation F=G*(m_1*m_2)/r^2. As a result, increasing the mass of one or both objects increases the gravitational force. Increasing the distance between the two objects decreases the gravitational force. Notice the distance between them is squared so if you keep the masses the same and double the distance between them the gravitational force will decrease by four times.
Does the gravitational force between two objects increase as the objects get farther apart?
F is proportional to M1 and M2 F is inversely proportional to square of R, the distance between the two bodies. F = (G x M1 x M2)/R^2 wher G is the gravitational constant.
What 2 factors affect the gravitational force between 2 objects?
Mass and Distance because if the object is bigger for Example the Earth then it would attract beacause its bigger than the moon. Distance because the farther away it is the less it could, attract like a magnet.
Gravitational force becomes stronger or weaker as the distance between masses increases?
Smaller, the farther away the mass becomes the weaker the gravitational force. LH- It is currently taught that the closer objects are to each other, the stronger the gravitational forces are that attract the objects together. When the distance between two objects is 1/2 of what it was before...the attraction between them is squared. (Force x Force). Alternatly; (And no one can proove this otherwise.) What if the force that makes objects seam to want to get together is actually the space (Ether) around them squeezing them together? Think of two balls inside an invisible balloon as the air is let out of the balloon, the balloon puts preasure on the balls trying to sueeze them together. The difference with thinking this over in your mind is; when measuring how hard the the 'squeeze' will be, the MASS of the objects in the balloon is more important than the physical size of the balls getting squeezed. Just remember that you can measure and test things and come up with all kinds of information but that doesn't mean that anybody actually knows how it really works.
How does the gravitational force between two objects that are close together compare to the gravitational force between two object as they move father apart?
The force is less as they move farther apart, f=k/r2
How does the gravitational force between two objects that are close together compare to the gravitational force between two objects as they move father apart?

How does the gravitational force between two objects that are close together compared to the gravitational force between two objects as they move farther apart?
As the objects move farther apart, the gravitational force between them decreases. Every time the distance between them doubles, the force between them drops 75%.

How does the distance between two celestial bodies impacts their gravitational attraction?
If they are farther apart, there is less gravitational pull. Opposite if they are closer together.
What happens to the gravitational force between objects getting farther away A. it increases B. it decreases?
Decreases.
Is gravity reduced as you move away from the sun?
The mutual gravitational force of attraction between you and the sun decreases as you move farther from the sun. Just the same as the mutual gravitational force of attraction between you and the earth, or any other body, decreases as you move farther from the other body.
If the masses do not change but the objects are moved farther apart r becomes bigger will be gravitational force become stronger or weaker?
If the masses do not change, but the objects are moved farther apart, the gravitational force becomes weaker, due to the distance between the objects.
Would an object have a greater gravitational pull closer or farther from earth?
An object have greater gravitational pull closer from earth. As we get farther from earth, the gravitational pull becomes weaker. That is why objects sufficiently away from the earth do not fall on it.
Does gravity increase or decrease when the distance increases between two objects?
Gravity decrease as you get farther, and every mass has gravitational pull.
How does the distance between 2 objects affect the strength of the gravatation between them?
The force of gravity between two objects decreases as the square of the distancebetween them.Example:Two objects are some distance apart, and there is some gravitational forcedrawing them together. But instead of letting them drift together, or settle intoorbits around each other, you grab them and move them 5 times farther apart.The gravitational force between them is less now. How much less ?5 x 5 = 25 . The force is now 1/25of what it was originally. (Only 4% .)
Do the moon and sun both have similar gravitational force?
No. The Sun has a smaller gravitational pull because its farther away.
