gravitational theory
Mass-pull framework
Gravitational theory encompasses scientific explanations for gravity—the attractive force between objects with mass.
Newton's theory describes gravity as a force proportional to mass and inversely proportional to distance squared.
Einstein's general relativity reframes gravity as the curvature of spacetime caused by mass and energy.
Gravitational theory predicts how planets orbit stars.
