What two things do the amount of gravitational pull between two objects depend on?

The mass of the objects and the distance between the objects.


What is the gravitational pull of objects called?

Gravitational attraction.


Why do the planets not fall into the sun or fly off into space?

This phenomenon is controlled by gravitational pull. Large objects tend to have a large gravitational pull. Smaller objects are pulled in by large objects. The reason why planets are a steady distance from the sun is because they have a perfect amount of inward and outward pull.


When Is the gravitational pull between two objects that have greater masses?

The gravitational pull is always present: there is no "when".


What objects have gravity?

Anything that has mass has a gravitational pull. I do not know the formula that determines an objects gravitational pull based on mass, but there definetly is one.


How does the density of an object effect its gravitational pull on other objects example when a star's density increases its gravitational pull increases on other objects?

Mass, not density, and the closeness of objects, affects an object's gravitational pull. Density is not dependent on an object's size, but mass is. The more massive an object, and/or the closer an object is to another, the greater its gravitational pull.


Is there more gravitational force between objects with small masses or objects with large masses?

Objects of greater mass have more gravitational pull.


Why do heavier objects fall faster then lighter objects?

Heavier objects have more gravitational pull on them


Would an object have a greater gravitational pull closer or farther from earth?

An object have greater gravitational pull closer from earth. As we get farther from earth, the gravitational pull becomes weaker. That is why objects sufficiently away from the earth do not fall on it.


What is the result of the mass of the object and the distance that affect the amount of gravitational force between two objects in space?

mass and distance form an inverse relationship when related to gravity. The larger the mass(es) the greater the gravitational pull. The closer the distance, the greater the gravitational pull.


What is dependent on gravitational pull?

Any two objects with mass will have a gravitational force. The orbit of planets around stars depends on the gravitational pull of the star. The Earth exerts a gravitational pull on its moon but the moon also exerts a pull on the Earth.


Why can you feel and see the effect of Earth's gravitational pull on you but you cannot feel or see the effect of you teacher's gravitational pull on you?

Gravitational pull is only noticeable for large objects, stars, planets, moons. Smaller objects just don't have enough mass to make much difference.
