Gravitational Force Calculator

Calculate the gravitational attraction between any two masses using Newton's law of universal gravitation.

Newton's Law of Gravitation

F = G × (m₁ × m₂) / r²

G = 6.674×10⁻¹¹ N⋅m²/kg² (gravitational constant). Force decreases with square of distance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why don't we feel attraction to nearby objects?
The gravitational constant G is tiny. You'd need planetary masses to feel significant force. Earth's mass creates ~9.8 m/s² acceleration.
What is g = 9.8 m/s²?
It's Earth's surface gravity. F = G×M×m/r² = m×g, so g = G×M/r² = 9.8 m/s² at Earth's surface.
