==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
[[Gravity]] is a [[force]] of [[attraction]] which acts between all [[object]]s with [[mass]].
===About Gravity===
The strength of [[gravity]] between two [[object]]s depends on:
*[[Mass]] - The greater the [[mass]] of the [[object]]s the greater the [[force]] of [[gravity]].
*[[Distance]] - The greater the distance between [[object]]s the weaker the [[force]] of [[gravity]].
: When a small [[mass]] [[object]] is in the [[Gravitational Field]] of a large [[mass]] [[object]] the [[force]] on the small [[mass]] is referred to as [[weight]] rather than [[gravity]].
