Solution
Newton's law of gravitation states that every particle attracts every
other particle in the universe with a force which is directly proportional to
the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the
distance between their centers.
The symbol G is Newton's universal
law of gravitation in the gravitational force between two objects is
proportional to the mass of each and inversely proportional to the square of
the distance between them
It is called so because it is applicable on all bodies having mass, and
the bodies will be governed by the same law, that is newton's law of
gravitation. Thus, as it is applicable universally, it is called as universal
law.
