Gravitational Force Calculator

Use Newton's law of universal gravitation to find the attraction between two masses

Inputs

Formula: F = G · m₁ · m₂ / r², where F is in Newtons when masses are in kilograms and distance is in meters.

Default: 6.67430 × 10⁻¹¹

Understanding the Result

  • For astronomical bodies, expect very large or very small numbers expressed in scientific notation.
  • If objects are far apart, the force falls off with the square of the distance.
  • Use SI units to avoid rounding errors; conversions are applied automatically above.
