Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation

Every particle in the Universe attracts every other with a force which is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of their seperation.

Where: F = gravitational force of attraction [N]; G = universal gravitational constant = 6.67x10^-11Nm²kg^-2; m₁, m₂ = mass of bodies [kg]; r = distance between bodies [m]
