The gravitational force is defined as the force of attraction between all masses in the universe, as articulated by Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation. This law quantitatively describes the gravitational force using the equation F = G(m1*m2)/r², where F is the gravitational force, G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses, and r is the distance between the centers of the two masses. Understanding this concept is fundamental for physics students and anyone studying celestial mechanics.
