No. In fact, the further you are from the bottom of a gravitational well (Basically, the center of a planet/star/etc.) the lower the gravitational pull will be. Were you to drop something from extremely high up, it would encounter increasing gravity as it fell down. This is why probes that we send into Jupiter's atmosphere get destroyed- the gravity exerted on them by Jupiter gets higher and higher until they are destroyed by it.

Do bigger things have a greater gravitational force than small things?

It depends on the mass. The higher the mass the higher the gravitational force. Usually big things have higher masses than small things so the answer is yes, big things (usually) have a higher gravitational force than small things.


How does the planets mass affect the strength of gravitational force?

The greater the mass, the greater the gravitational force.


What has a greater gravitational force an egg or truck?

The truck has a greater gravitational force than an egg. Gravitational force depends on the mass of an object, so the truck’s larger mass leads to a greater gravitational force compared to the egg.


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.


What does greater mass result in?

Greater mass results in greater gravitational force. This means that the larger an object is, it requires more effort for movement.


What affect does mass have on the strength of a gravitational force?

The strength of the gravitational force between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses. This means that the greater the mass of the objects, the greater the gravitational force between them.


Which property of matter is a measure of gravitational force?

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and is directly related to the gravitational force that object experiences. The greater the mass of an object, the greater the gravitational force it exerts or experiences.


What is gravirtitional force?

Gravitational force is a force that acts between any objects that have mass. It is proportional to both masses, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance. In other words, greater mass means more gravitational force, greater distance means less gravitational force.


What is the measure of the gravitational force on something?

The object's weight is the measure of the gravitational force on that object.


Does earth or mars have a greater gravitational force?

Earth has.


Does a heavier object or a lighter object experience a greater gravational force?

A heavier object experiences a greater gravitational force than a lighter object due to its larger mass. Gravity is directly proportional to mass; the greater the mass, the greater the gravitational force.


Will have the greater force of gravitational attraction?

The force exerted is dependent on the mass of the object.
