Newton's law of universal gravitation:
Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation states that every particle in the universe attracts every other particle with a force directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of their distance.
Universal Gravitation Equation can be written as . Here, is the gravitational force between the bodies, and and are their masses, is the distance between two bodies' centers, and the universal gravitational constant is denoted by .
