Newtonian Gravity

Newtonian gravity is a law proposed by Sir Isaac Newton that describes how objects attract each other due to their masses. It states that the force of gravity between two objects increases with their masses and decreases with the square of the distance between them. This means that closer, heavier objects pull more strongly on each other. Newton’s law effectively explains everyday phenomena, like why apples fall to the ground and how the planets orbit the sun, laying the groundwork for our understanding of gravitational forces in the universe. While effective for many scenarios, it does have limitations at extreme scales or speeds.
