Gravity
Gravity is the weakest of all the forces of nature. The gravitational force of attraction between two protons is 1036 times smaller than the electrostatic force of repulsion between them.
Gravity
The most feeble of the four fundamental forces in the universe that affect all matter. The magnitude of gravitational attraction depends directly on mass and inversely on distance squared.

Definition: gravity: The acceleration produced by the mutual attraction of two masses, and of magnitude inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two centers of mass.

acceleration due to gravity (g)
An object that is allowed to fall freely will, if the effects of air resistance are ignored, gather speed (accelerate) at a rate of about 9.8 m/s2 (32 ft/s2). If dropped from rest, it will have fallen 4.

GRAVITY AND HEAT
How do stars form? What factors determine the masses, luminosities, and distribution of stars in our Galaxy? In short, what basic processes are responsible for the appearance of our nighttime sky?
Gravity and quantum mechanics
Several decades after the discovery of general relativity it was realized that it (general relativity) cannot be the complete theory of gravity because it is incompatible with quantum mechanics.
gravity
the attractive force that all objects exert on one another; the greater an object's mass, the stronger its gravitational pull
gravity waves ...
gravity The attractive effect that any massive object has on all other massive objects. The greater the mass of the object, the stronger its gravitational pull.
Gravity is the interaction that couples all matter and energy in the universe.

Gravity is the midwife and the undertaker of the stars. It gathers clumps of gas and dust from the interstellar clouds, compresses them and, if they are sufficiently massive, ignites thermonuclear reactions in their cores.
Gravity typically is not measured at sea level, so corrections must be made for its decrease in value with increasing elevation. Such height-related gravity anomalies may be corrected for by using free-air or Bouguer reductions.
Gravity Assist
An effect through which an orbiting object, such as a spacecraft or a comet, gains or loses speed by virtue of the gravitational might of a planet or other celestial object that it passes.
Gravity has finally won the battle. The weakest of nature's forces, gravity waits for perhaps billions of years for the fuel to run out in stars.
Gravity waves are generated in a fluid medium (e.g. the atmosphere), when a fluid parcel is displaced [e.g. by convection] to a region with a different density.
Gravity A physical force attracting one object to another object.
Ground station
Ground stations are the link between the control system and a satellite in orbit.
Gravity
The force which pulls any two (or more) objects together. It is inversely proportional to the square of the distance of the objects, and is what keeps the planets, asteroids etc orbiting the Sun.

As the Moon pulls on the water it is also pulling on the Earth. The Moon's gravity pulls the Earth away from the water on the Earth's far side! The net effect is that the water is higher on the side opposite the Moon.
GRAVITY
Gravity is a physical force that pulls objects together. Every bit of mass produces a gravitational force; this force attracts all other masses. The more massive an object, the stronger the gravitational force. formulated the laws of gravity.
The gravity of Mars is about 38% that of Earth. In other words, if you weigh 100 kg on Earth, you will only weigh 38 kg on Mars.

Modified gravity. There are versions of the inflationary Universe model that do not require a scalar field associated with the fundamental interaction to drive the expansion. We can, for example, obtain inflation by modifying the laws of gravity.
