a field of constant acceleration
a form of static distortion induced into the space fabric by the presence of matter
an example of an energy field that never fades
a region of space where a mass, m, will experience a force
a region of space where a small mass will feel a force of attraction, never repulsion, due to the presence of another mass or distribution of masses
the area of interaction between two masses
Field created by an object with mass, extending out in all directions, which determines the influence of that object on all others. The strength of the gravitational field decreases as the square of the distance.
Distortion of space due to the presence of a mass.
The gravitational field of the Earth is what pulls everything towards the center of our planet. Its force is defined as 1g (one "g" or one gravity). In comparison, the gravitational force present on the moon is 0.6 g's, this weaker force allowed the astronauts to do their famous moon- jumps.
The gravitational field is a field (physics), generated by massive objects, that determines the magnitude and direction of gravitation experienced by other massive objects.
