Answer:

They are inversely proportional

Step-by-step explanation:

The force of gravity and the distance between two objects involved are inversely proportional to one another.

According to newton's law of universal gravitation "the force of gravity between two bodies is a product of their masses and inversely proportional to the distances between them".

  • The force of gravity and distance between two bodies are inversely related.
  • The larger the distance between two bodies the lesser the force of gravity between them.
