What effect does distance have on gravity?

Asked by 5secondsofelle

Answer (2)

The forces of gravity between two objects are smaller when the objects are farther apart.

Gravity is a force that depends on the masses of two objects and the distance between them. As distance increases, the gravitational force decreases sharply due to the inverse square relationship. Therefore, the farther apart two objects are, the weaker their gravitational attraction becomes.
