Answer:

Greater

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the law of universal gravitation, the force of gravitation is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the two objects and INDIRECTLY proportional to the square of the distance. In short, the bigger the masses, the stronger the gravitational force, the lesser the distance between the two objects, the greater the gravitational force.
