Solution

According to Newton's law of gravitation:
Every two bodies in this universe attract each other with a force of attraction called the force of gravitation.
This force depends on the product of masses of two bodies.
It is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
$F = G \frac{m M}{r^{2}} m, M \to m a s s o f t w o b o d i e s r \to d i s \tan c e b e t w e e n t w o b o d i e s$
Hence, The force of gravity between two objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.
