The two things that affect the gravitational force is Mass and Distance.
All objects with a non-zero real mass are subject to the gravitational force. It's not quite clear (at least to me) what the situation is with respect to objects with imaginary mass (tachyons).
-- the product of their individual masses -- the distance between their centers The formula for the gravitational force is given by: force = GMm/r² where G is the gravitational constant, M and m are the masses of the two objects and r is the distance between their centres.

Gravity or gravitation is a natural phenomenon by which all things with mass-energy are brought toward one another, including stars, planets, galaxies and even light and sub-atomic particles.No, the gravitational force does not depend on the size of the objects. It depends on the mass-energy of the objects. While larger objects CAN contain more mass-energy and thus experience larger gravitational forces, objects can be large but have very low density thus have very little mass-energy.
Gravity is an attractive forces between any 2 objects. The strength of the attraction is proportional to the mass of the two objects and is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects. That is to say that gravity is stronger between larger objects and gets weaker as the 2 objects get farther apart.
mass and distance
The amount of mass of the object and other objects near by, as well as distance to the other objects.
The mass of the object that is exerting the force and the distance between the two objects.
