Gravitation

Understand the Problem

The question is about gravitation, which relates to the force that attracts two bodies toward each other. It involves concepts from physics, such as gravity, mass, and distance.

Answer

Gravitation is the universal force that attracts all matter, explained by Newton and Einstein's theories.

Gravitation, or gravity, is the universal force of attraction that acts between all matter. It is described by Newton's law of universal gravitation and in Einstein's general theory of relativity as a result of space-time distortions.

Answer for screen readers

Gravitation, or gravity, is the universal force of attraction that acts between all matter. It is described by Newton's law of universal gravitation and in Einstein's general theory of relativity as a result of space-time distortions.

More Information

Gravitation is crucial in keeping planets in orbit, and its understanding is fundamental in both classical physics and the newer frameworks of theoretical physics like general relativity.

Tips

A common mistake is to assume that gravitational force is only significant at large scales, ignoring its presence in all mass interactions, just at vastly different magnitudes.
