gravitational
Relating to mass-attraction
Gravitational describes anything relating to or caused by gravity—the force that pulls objects toward one another.
Gravitational pull draws smaller bodies toward larger ones.
The moon's gravitational effect creates tides.
In physics, gravitational appears in technical terms: gravitational field, gravitational waves, gravitational constant.
Figuratively, a person or place with gravitational pull attracts others powerfully.
