Gravitation, universal force exercised by two bodies onto each other (In casual discussion, gravity and gravitation are often used interchangeably)
One of the fundamental forces of nature, defined as the constant force of attraction between all objects in the universe The gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects and proportional to the masses
In Newtonian physics, the universal, mutual attraction of all massive objects for one another Its force is directly proportional to the mass of each object, and decreases by the square of the distance separating the objects In Einstein's general relativity, gravity is viewed as a consequence of the curvature of space induced by the presence of a massive object greenhouse effect - The warming effect caused by the Earth's atmosphere allowing easy entry of visible light, but difficult escape of infrared radiation (heat)
The gravity of a situation or event is its extreme importance or seriousness. They deserve punishment which matches the gravity of their crime Not all acts of vengeance are of equal gravity
The gravitational attraction of the earth's mass for bodies at or near its surface i e the downward force acting on each molecule in the air pulling it towards the earth
The force which attracts all particles to the Earth, thus giving them weight It is a resultant of two opposing forces: gravitation and centrifugal force due to rotation of the Earth
1 The force of attraction exerted by one body in the universe on another Gravity is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the two attracted bodies 2 The force of attraction exerted by the Earth on bodies on or near its surface, tending to pull them toward the Earth's center
The attraction between two masses, such as the earth and an object on its surface Commonly referred to as the acceleration of gravity Changes in the gravity field can be used to infer information about the structure of the earth's lithosphere and upper mantle
Gravity is the mutual force of attraction between all particles or bodies that have mass Gravity often refers to the vector sum of the gravitational attraction of various masses within the planet plus the centrifugal force caused by the rotation of the Earth
a solemn and dignified feeling (physics) the force of attraction between all masses in the universe; especially the attraction of the earth's mass for bodies near its surface; "the more remote the body the less the gravity"; "the gravitation between two bodies is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them"; "gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love"--Albert Einstein
attractive force directly proportional to the product of the masses of and inversely proportional to the distance between two objects; infinite field that determines curvature of spacetime; the only force that has not been mathematically unified with others
