gravitationally

Through attractive force

Gravitationally describes something happening through or relating to gravity—the force that pulls objects toward each other.

Planets orbit gravitationally around stars.

Two galaxies can be gravitationally bound, meaning gravity keeps them together.

The word appears almost exclusively in scientific contexts: The moon is gravitationally locked to Earth, always showing the same face.
