Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The gravitational force = G * m1 * m2 / r^2

That means as the distance increases, r get's bigger and m1 and m2 don't change, the force decreases. Read that sentence carefully. In physics, it is very important to know what goes up and goes down means and especially why.
