    Stated in modern language, Newton’s universal law of gravitation states that every particle in the universe attracts every other particle with a force along a line joining them. The force is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
    Newton's revolutionary idea was that gravity is universal - ALL objects attract in proportion to the product of their masses. Gravity is universal. Of course, most gravitational forces are so minimal to be noticed. Gravitational forces are only recognizable as the masses of objects become large.
    Every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force along an imaginary line between them. The equation for Newton’s law of gravitation is: where: F g is the gravitational force between m 1 and m 2 , G is the gravitational constant equal to 6.67 × 10 − 11 m 3 kg ⋅ s 2 , and m 1 and m 2 are masses.
    In the Principia, Newton defined the force of gravity in the following way (translated from the Latin): Every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force that is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the particles and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
