Explanation:

Gravitational force is a kind of force that act on all object. The gravitational force can be defined as the force that attract two object with mass. The gravitational force is all around us. it is what determines how far a thrown object is before it reaches the surface. The gravitational force determines how much we weigh. The gravitational force is the force the earth exerted on you.

Newton Law of gravitation explain gravitational force and can be stated as follows. Every masses of object attracts each other with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

G = m1 m2 / r²
