The gravitational constant (G) is a fundamental physical constant that appears in the law of universal gravitation. It determines the strength of the gravitational force between two objects with mass.
Imagine G as a matchmaking score for friendships. The higher the matchmaking score, the stronger the bond between two friends. Similarly, a higher value of G means a stronger gravitational force between two masses.
Law of Universal Gravitation: This law states that every particle attracts every other particle with a force directly proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of their distance apart.
Mass: Mass is a measure of how much matter an object contains and determines its inertia and response to gravity.
Weight: Weight is the force experienced by an object due to gravity and depends on both its mass and the acceleration due to gravity.
