According to Newton's universal Gravitational laws, any two object that have masses exerts gravitational force but why.

Solution

Gravity is a force. A force is simply a push or a pull experienced by objects that interact with each other. The interaction can be direct or at a distance, which is the case of gravity. Newton's laws tell us that if an unbalanced force acts on an object, it will change the object's state of motion. In other words, the object will accelerate. Since gravity is a force, gravity causes objects to accelerate.
