CS.2.1 Gravitation

Gravitation is a univeral force that each object exerts on any other object.  The strength of the gravitational attractive force between two objects is proportional to the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them (e.g., Law fo Universal Gravitation, Kepler's Law).
