- what are the two contributors to the strength of gravity? ____ and ____ 20. which object in our solar system...
The strength of gravity (gravitational force) is determined by two main factors according to Newton's law of universal gravitation ($F = G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}$), where $F$ is the gravitational force, $G$ is the gravitational constant, $m_1$ and $m_2$ are the masses of the two objects, and $r$ is the distance between their centers. The two contributors to the strength of gravity between two objects are the mass of the objects (the greater the mass of the objects, the stronger the gravitational force) and the distance between the objects (the smaller the distance between the objects, the stronger the gravitational force).
