What is the force of gravity?
GeneralClass 12AllAnswered 27 Mar 2026
Answer
The force of gravity is the attractive force between any two objects with mass. On Earth's surface, it's calculated as F = m × g, where m is mass and g is 9.8 m/s². For any two objects in space, it's F = G × (m₁ × m₂) / r². Gravity gives objects weight, keeps planets in orbit, holds galaxies together, and is responsible for the large-scale structure of the universe. Unlike other forces, gravity is always attractive and has infinite range.
