Gravitational force is dependent on mass and distance.
as distance increases gravity's force decreases as mass increases gravity's force increases
The force changes in the direction opposite to the change in distance. More distance ==> less force, and less distance ==> more force. That's why the gravitational force between the sun and you is small, even though the sun has a lot more mass than the earth has.
Mass and Weight The gravitational force Earth exerts on an object is the weight of the object. Because weight is a force, it is measured in newtons. Weight is not the same as mass. Mass is the amount of matter an object contains, and is measured in kilograms. Even if the mass of an object doesn't change, its weight will change if its distance from Earth changes
Force changes motion, according to Newton's Second Law (force = mass x acceleration). Applying a force over a distance requires work (= energy transfer); in the simplest case, this work is equal to force x distance.

mass and distance

Newton's Second Law: force = mass x acceleration. Solving for acceleration: acceleration = force / mass. In other words, other things (i.e., the mass) being equal, the acceleration is proportional to the force.
If you say, double the distance, the force of gravity is one quarter (f = 1/22 = 1/4) If you say, treble the distance, the force of gravity is one ninth (f = 1/32 = 1/9) If you say, halve the distance, the force of gravity is four times (f = 1/0.52 = 1/0.25 = 4)
No, the measured weight of an object WILL change but the mass of an object will never change regardless of the gravitational force on object.
The force changes in the direction opposite to the change in distance. More distance ==> less force, and less distance ==> more force. That's why the gravitational force between the sun and you is small, even though the sun has a lot more mass than the earth has.

More mass --> more gravitational force Greater distance --> less gravitational force

I guess the scientific concept that is closest to the "built-in gravity" would be the mass. In that case, the answer is "no". The force between two objects does change, depending on the distance.I guess the scientific concept that is closest to the "built-in gravity" would be the mass. In that case, the answer is "no".
