If you could figure out what makes gravity happen you'd likely win a Nobel Prize. Gravity is the weakest of the four natural forces, being billions of times weaker than the other three (electromagnetism and the weak and strong nuclear forces). Basically gravity is the attraction that every particle in the universe has for every other particle in the universe. Matter makes a kind of dimple in the space-time continuum, kind of like placing a ball bearing on a rubber sheet only in three dimensions. If you rolled another ball bearing onto the sheet its path would curve because of the dimple made by the first one. The first one will also tend to roll toward the second one since the second one makes its own dimple. You get the idea. Gravity between two objects decreases as the square of the distance between them so if an object is twice as far then its gravitational effect is 4 times weaker.

What is the primary force involved in the formation of galaxies after the big bang?
Gravity is the primary force involved in the formation of galaxies after the big bang. Over time, the gravitational attraction between matter caused it to clump together, forming structures like galaxies and clusters of galaxies.
What is the primary force involved in the formation of stars?
Please don't write "listed below" if you don't provide the list. That just wastes everybody's time.
How isostatic adjustments affect isostasy?
Gravity.
What force is responsible for holding the stars gases and dust together in a galaxy?
The answer is simple: gravity.
Does the moon or Mars have less gravity?
The moon has less mass than does Mars and therefore has less gravity at its surface.
What the relationship between mass and the amount of gravity that pulls 2 object together?
The gravity is proportional to both masses involved, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance.The gravity is proportional to both masses involved, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance.The gravity is proportional to both masses involved, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance.The gravity is proportional to both masses involved, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance.

Gravity is least involved in the process of ......?
Gravity is least involved in the process of electromagnetic interactions, which are interactions between charged particles like electrons and protons. These interactions are governed by the electromagnetic force, not gravity.
What forces are involved in body boarding?
gravity
What is the force that is primarily involved with a falling object?
Gravity is the force primarily involved with a falling object. It pulls the object downward towards the center of the Earth.
How is physics involved in discus?

What force is involved when ice is put into water?
Gravity
What two factors make gravity stronger or weaker?
The two factors that make gravity stronger or weaker are the mass of the objects involved and the distance between them. As mass increases, gravity becomes stronger. Conversely, as distance between objects increases, gravity becomes weaker.
What changes the strength of gravity on an object?
The force of gravity depends on the masses involved, as well as on the distance between them.
What chemical and electrical forces are involved in the function of a battery?

What THREE things does gravity depend on?
two masses involved- weight and mass and the distance.
What forces involved in keeping the planets in their obits?
Gravity is the only one necessary. Which is lucky, because gravity is the only one there is.
