How does gravity affect mass and distance?

Answer 1

Well distance has barely any effect on it, but mass does since

Force = acceleration x mass

The acceleration in this case is always 9.81 m²/s (= Gravity), so the force actually depends on the mass only.

Answer 2

The gravitational force felt between any two objects is inversely proportionate to their distance. This means, that if I move you away from the Earth, the effect of Earths gravity will decrease as you move away. The effect of gravity can be measure as the sum of any two masses you like, m and M . You sum them, m+M, and multiply them by the gravitational constant of the universe, G, and divide by their distance squared. So G~=6.67300 × 10-11 m3 kg-1 s-2 gravity can be written as G m+M / r^2

Answer 3

Gravity is directly proportional to the mass of objects involved, meaning that more massive objects experience a stronger gravitational force. The gravitational force weakens with distance between objects, following the inverse-square law where doubling the distance reduces the force to one-fourth its original strength.
