Since gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces. So as two objects are separated from each other, the force of gravitational attraction between them also decreases.

Is gravity stronger with distance?

Objects with more mass have more gravity. Gravity also gets weaker with distance. So, the closer objects are to each other, the stronger their gravitational pull is. Earth's gravity comes from all its mass.

How does distance affect gravitational force *?

Gravity is affected by two variables. ... Distance is inversely proportional (as one goes up, the other goes down) to the strength o gravity. In other words, the greater the distance between two objects, the lower the strength of gravity is between them.
