mass and distance
The force of gravity acts between all objects. If massincreases, the force of gravity increases. If distanceincreases, the force of gravity decreases.
The mass of the objects and the distance between them.
The gravitational force is a force between any two masses (so, basically, any object). The force depends on the mass and on the distance. More mass --> more force; greater distance --> less force.
Mass of the objects, and distance between them (And they don't have to be in space. It can just as well be the gravitational force between the lint in your pocket and a grain of sand on the beach in South Africa. The same formula accurately calculates the magnitude of that force.)
mass and distance form an inverse relationship when related to gravity. The larger the mass(es) the greater the gravitational pull. The closer the distance, the greater the gravitational pull.
There are two factors that affect the gravitational attraction between two objects. The mass of each object and the distance between their centers of mass are the factors that affect the attraction.
There are two factors that affect the gravitational attraction between two objects. The mass of each object and the distance between their centers of mass are the factors that affect the attraction.
This is false. The answer is that mass and distance affect the gravitational attraction between objects. Air resistance has no effect on this.
Mass certainly affects the gravitational attraction between objects; air resistance doesn't.

Two factors affect the gravitational attraction between objects: mass and distance.
The strength of the gravitational force of attraction between two objects is proportional to both masses.
If the objects are not tied together, and if the gravitational forces between them are negligible in their current environment, then the distance between them has no effect whatsoever on their motion.
Gravity doesn't care what, if anything, is in the space between the objects. Whatever it is has no effect on the mutual gravitational forces of attraction between them. There's no such thing as "gravitational shielding".
Yes mass affects the gravitational acceleration between objects. But air resistance doesn't affect the gravitational acceleration, it only affects the net acceleration of the objects concerned. According to Newton's Law of Gravitation the gravitational force between two or more objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Decreasing the distance between two objects will increase the force of gravity. Gravity is proportional to the mass of the two objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
