gravitational forces are experience between to objects without any contact between them
Gravity.
Gravity is action at a distance, a non contact force
Non-contact. Gravity can effect objects separated by hundreds of millions of light years -- which is why our galaxy is moving towards the Sharpley Super-cluster.
Non-Contact ForcesWhile the ball is in the air, one force acting on it is gravity. Gravity pulls the ball down to the earth without touching it. This means it is an example of a non-contact force, or a force exerted on an object that does not make contact with it. Another example of a non-contact force is magnetism. Read more about magnetism.

A non-contact force is any force applied to an object by another body that is not in direct contact with it. The most common example of a non-contact force is gravity. A non-contact force is different from a contact force, which is a force applied to a body by another body that is in contact with it. However it is to be noted that the origin of all contact forces can be traced to non-contact forcesIn physics, a contact force is a force between two objects (or an object and a surface) that are in contact with each other. This is distinct from a non-contact force, or action-at-a-distance force (a force that acts over a distance), such as gravity or magnetic attraction/repulsion.
Gravity is a non-contact force, meaning it can exert its influence on objects without direct physical contact between them. This force is responsible for the attraction between all objects with mass.
Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity. Since gravity acts at a distance and does not require direct contact with the object, weight is considered a non-contact force.
I think its a bit of both but more contact than non- contact.
A non-contact force is a force which acts on an object without coming physically in contact with it. The most familiar example of a non-contact force is gravity, which confers weight. ... Gravity, the force of attraction that exists among all bodies that have mass.
Earth exerts a non-contact force on the moon.
A non-contact force is a force that acts at a distance without physical contact between objects. Examples include gravity, electromagnetic forces, and magnetic forces. These forces can influence objects from a distance without direct touching.
