Before Newton, the concept was completely non-existent.

Newton invented the whole idea, gave it the name "gravitation", created the formulas that

give it numbers, invented calculus in order to investigate how gravitation behaves, and

eventually showed ... on paper ... that the whole system he had developed predicts exactly

what we see the moon and all the planets doing in the sky.

What was Cavendishs contribution to Newtons Law of Gravitation?

Henry Cavendish's contribution to Newton's Law of Gravitation was his experiment to determine the gravitational constant, which allowed for the precise calculation of the gravitational force between two objects. This value was crucial for the accurate prediction of the behavior of celestial bodies based on Newton's law of gravitation.

Which of Newtons laws is not a law of motion?

Newton's law of universal gravitation is not a law of motion. This law describes the force of gravity between two objects based on their masses and the distance between them, rather than the motion of objects themselves.
