How does the density of an object effect its gravitational pull on other objects example when a star's density increases its gravitational pull increases on other objects?
Mass, not density, and the closeness of objects, affects an object's gravitational pull. Density is not dependent on an object's size, but mass is. The more massive an object, and/or the closer an object is to another, the greater its gravitational pull.
Is Mars' gravitational pull about one third of Earth's?
A bit more than that. The surface gravity on Mars is closer to 3/8 the gravity on Earth.
Why do planets move slightly closer to the sun at certain parts of the orbit?
The gravitational pull
Do objects become lighter as they get closer to the center of the earth?
Objects masses would not change, but the pull of gravity on an object from another object when the first is inside the other is effectively zero when the inside is at the center of mass of the outer. If the Earth were a thick walled but hollow sphere, objects would stick (weakly) to the inside surface as well as the outer.
The distance between two objects increases the force of gravity becomes what?
As their mass does not change their gravitational force remains the same. For them to move closer together one of the objects must have a stronger gravitaional force than the other. If they collided and became fused together then the gravitaional force would be greater as there would now only be one object.
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.
Is it true that as objects accelerate toward each other the gravitational attraction between them decreases?
No, this is false. The gravitational force between two objects increases as they get closer.
How do you increase the gravitational force between two object?
Move the objects closer together.
Will more massive objects attract each other with a greater gravitational force or a smaller gravitational force?
The more massive the objects, the greater the gravitational force between them. The gravitational force is affected by mass and distance. The closer two bodies are, the greater the gravitational force also.
Why there is no force of attraction between closer objects?
If you mean gravitational attraction, there is such a force between ANY two objects. The force depends on the distance (if two objects are closer, the attraction is stronger), and on the masses involved (if the masses are larger, the force is larger). The masses of "everyday" objects, for example two people, are so small (for the purposes of the gravitational force) that the force is hard to measure.

How is gravitational force related to the mass of two objects interacting and the distance between theme?
the larger the objects the more gravity it can potentially have, the closer objects are the more the attraction they have between them.
When a large objectsvmove closer together the force of gravity becomes?
When ANY two objects move closer together, the gravitational forces between them become greater.
What happens if the distance between two objects is reduced to half?
The gravitational force becomes 4 times stronger than it was before the objects moved closer.
If two objects become closer together is the gravitational attraction between them decreased?
No, it is increased. If the separation is halved, the attraction is quadrupled.
How do you change the gravitational force of an object in the universe?
1. Change its mass. 2. Change the mass of objects near it.
Will the acceleration of two objects that move closer to each other because of gravity decrease or increase?
-- As two objects draw closer together, the gravitational force between them increases. -- Acceleration is directly proportional to force. -- So their acceleration toward each other also increases.
