Explanation

• Sir Isaac Newton postulated the law of universal gravitation.
• Newton's law of gravitation states that every point mass attracts every other point mass by a force acting along the line intersecting both points.

The formula to calculate this force is:

F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2

Where:

• F is the force of gravity
• G is the gravitational constant
• m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects
• r is the distance between the centers of the two objects
