Would the field representation of a positive or negative charge be a better representation for the gravitational field around one mass? why?

The field representation of a negative charge would be a better representation for the gravitational field around one mass. This is because the gravitational force between two masses is an attractive force, and the field representation of a negative charge is an attractive force. Additionally, the strength of the gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between two masses, and the field representation of a negative charge also follows this same inverse-square law.
