Quick answer

Gravitational force falls with the square of the distance between two masses.

F = G m1 m2 ÷ r²

Frequently asked questions

Why is gravity so weak?

G is tiny, so noticeable gravity needs planetary-scale mass.

Does distance or mass matter more?

Distance — the inverse square makes separation dominate.
