What two factors affect gravity, and how do they influence it?

Asked by AugustusWaters

Answer (3)

The only things that affect the forces of gravity are ...
-- the product of the masses of the two objects, and
-- the distance between the centers of the two objects.
-- The strength of the gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the two masses. If the product of the two masses is multiplied by ' Q ', then the strength of the gravitational forces between them is also multiplied by ' Q '.
-- The strength of the gravitational force is inversely proportional to square of the distance between the centers of the two masses. If the distance between their centers is multiplied by ' K ', then the strength of the gravitational forces between them is multiplied by 1/K² .

The two most common and huge affects are mass and distance. The bigger the harder it is to control gravity and same with distance. The farther you are away, the less pull you have .

Gravity is influenced by the masses of the objects involved and the distance between them. The gravitational force increases with greater mass and decreases with greater distance. This relationship is defined by Newton's law of universal gravitation, which summarizes gravity's behavior in the universe.
