Gravitation

Gravitation, or gravity, is a fundamental force of nature that attracts two bodies with mass towards each other. It governs the motion of celestial bodies, influences tides, and is responsible for the structure of the universe. Isaac Newton formulated the law of universal gravitation in the 17th century, describing gravity as a force proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Albert Einstein later refined the understanding of gravity with his general theory of relativity, depicting it as the curvature of spacetime caused by mass.
