The force of gravity between two objects is determined entirely by their masses. True or False?

false i took the test

False

Explanation:

The force of gravity is not only determined by the mass of the two objects but also the distance.

The law of universal gravitation states the product of the masses is directly proportional to the gravitational force, but it is also indirectly proportional to the square of the distance between them.

In other words, the greater the masses of each the greater the gravitational force, but the greater the distance between the two, the weaker the gravitational force.
