Solution

Explanation:

  1. The attraction between all objects in the universe is known as gravity.
  2. Gravity is a natural phenomena that attracts all particles with mass or energy to one another.
  3. The weight of items on Earth is determined by gravity.
  4. The moon's gravitational pull causes the tides in the ocean.
  5. The mathematical depiction of how things are attracted to one other is Newton's law of gravity.
  6. The gravitational force of attraction is equal to the mass of the two attracted objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them, according to the law.
  7. The gravitational constant (G) is the proportionate constant in the mathematical statement.

In terms of mathematics,

FG=Gm1m2r2

Hence, gravity is a force.
