Answer
The basic law of gravity, formulated by Isaac Newton, states that every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the suare of the distance between them. In simpler terms: the more massive objects are, the stronger their gravitational attraction, and the farther apart they are, the weaker the attraction becomes (following an inverse-suare relationship). This law explains everything from why apples fall from trees to how planets orbit the Sun.
