Mass is the amount of matter present in an object. All objects in the universe attract every other object in the universe. This force is called the gravitational force or gravity. This force is proportional to the product of the masses of the two objects and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.

More is the mass, more is the gravitational force or gravity

Answer:

Since the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of both interacting objects, more massive objects will attract each other with a greater gravitational force. So as the mass of either object increases, the force of gravitational attraction between them also increases.

i did some research and this is what I got. hope it helps.
