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.
