Gravity
One of the four fundamental physical forces of the universe; the mutual attraction of all bodies toward one another. The force of gravity between any two bodies depends on their respective masses and their distance from one another. The more massive a body, the greater gravitational effect it exerts, and that force acts more strongly on nearby objects than it does on distant ones.
