mass law

The mass law, also known as the inverse-square law of mass attraction, states that the gravitational force between two objects decreases as the distance between them increases. Specifically, the force is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance separating them. This means if you double the distance, the gravitational pull becomes one-fourth as strong; triple the distance, and it reduces to one-ninth. This principle explains how gravity acts over vast distances, governing the orbits of planets, moons, and other celestial bodies in the universe.
