gravity: (physics) the force of attraction between all masses in the universe; especially the attraction of the earth's mass for bodies near its surface; "the more remote the body the less the gravity"; "the gravitation between two bodies is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them"; "gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love"--Albert Einstein movement downward resulting from gravitational attraction; "irrigation by gravitation rather than by pumps" a figurative movement toward some attraction; "the gravitation of the middle class to the suburbs"

| gravitational constant |
The gravitational constant (abbreviated G) is the constant of proportionality in Newton's equation (formulated in 1666) that describes the gravitational attraction between objects; their gravitational attraction (F) depends only on their masses and the distance between them, according to the formula F = Gm 1 m 2 / r 2 . Henry Cavendish, in 1798, determined the numerical value of G to be 6.668 x 10 -8 dynes cm 2 /g 2 . ...

The mutual attraction between two masses of matter. The rotation of the earth and the atmosphere modifies this attraction to produce the field of gravity.

Traditionally, an attraction exerted by one object on the other objects in the universe. Albert Einstein, however believed that it is caused by the curvature of space time. For every day purposes, the first definition will do, though.
