Answer:

Attraction between the objects decreases.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Newton's Universal Law of gravitation :-

If two bodies of mass m and M are placed at a distance of r then they will always attract each other with a force equal to

F =
(GMm)/(r^(2) ) ,
where G is gravitational constant .

Clearly,

Attractive force between two objects is directly proportional to the square of the distance between them .

Thus , as distance between the objects increases , attractive force between the objects decreases.
