If you increase the mass, you increase the gravitational force proportionally. If you increase the distance between two masses, you decrease the gravitational force between them by and amount proportional to the square of the distance.
Gravitational force would increase as distance is decreased. Because force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance
That would be the Gravitational Force.
Gravitational force = GM1M2/D2 The distance is squared and in the numerator
On Earth, Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE) would increase with an increasing altitude.

It would also increase fourfold ... as long as the distance between them didn't change.
If you refer to gravitational force, it would also double.If you refer to gravitational force, it would also double.If you refer to gravitational force, it would also double.If you refer to gravitational force, it would also double.

Gravitational force depends only on the masses involved, and on the distance. Thus, to DECREASE the gravitational force, you would have to reduce the mass of the planet or the object (take some stuff away from it); or increase the distance.
The planet that has the greatest gravitational force is Jupiter.
The gravitational force would increase. This is because the gravitational force between two bodies is directly proportional to the product of the two masses. So if you double the mass of one of the masses, the force would double.
Since gravitational forces between two masses are proportional to m1 & m2, a 300x increase in planetary mass would INCREASE the gravitational force on an object by the same factor: 300x compared to earth. Since gravitational forces are also proportional to 1/(radius squared), a 10x increase in planetary radius would DECREASE the gravitational force by a factor of 100x (10 squared), at the planet's surface. So an object on such a planet would experience gravitational forces 3x greater than those on earth.

If Earth's mass increased, then the gravitational force between Earth and the moon would also increase. The moon would be more strongly attracted to Earth. The acceleration between the 2 would increase also.
Yes, force is the gravitational acceleration multiplied by the mass of that object. Should the gravitational acceleration increase (as on a different planet) or should the object's mass increase, the gravitational force on the object will as well.
If it happened in a moment, I think the moon's orbit would become much more eccentric (elliptical) than it is now. the moon's compostition is made of rocky material such as rocka and a lot of dust
That would be the Gravitational Force.
