What (if anything) is the difference between gravity and gravitation?
Gravity refers to the force of attraction between two objects with mass, while gravitation is the phenomenon that explains the force of gravity.
No, they are not the same thing. Gravity is the force, while gravitation is the theory that explains the force of gravity.
Gravity is a force that acts between two objects with mass and is directly proportional to the mass of the objects and inversely proportional to the distance between them. The larger the mass of the objects, the stronger the gravitational force will be between them.
No, gravity exists everywhere in the universe. It is a fundamental force that exists between all objects with mass, regardless of their location.
No, gravity is a natural force that is always present. It cannot be turned off or manipulated by humans.
