Gravitational attraction is the fundamental force of nature that pulls objects with mass toward each other. According to Newton’s law of universal gravitation, every particle in the universe attracts every other particle with a force proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers. This force governs the motion of celestial bodies, keeping planets in orbit around the Sun, moons around planets, and stars within galaxies. In Einstein’s general theory of relativity, gravity is described as the warping of spacetime caused by mass, providing a more comprehensive understanding of gravitational attraction on cosmic scales.
