gravitational forces
Mass attracts mass
Gravitational forces are the attractive pulls that exist between any objects with mass, drawing them toward one another.
This fundamental force governs the motion of planets around stars, keeps moons in orbit, and holds galaxies together.
On Earth, gravitational force is what gives objects weight and causes things to fall when dropped.
The gravitational forces between the Earth and Moon create ocean tides.
The strength of gravitational force increases with mass and decreases with distance.
