  • zh最初由艾萨克·牛顿提出、后经阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦完善的科学理论,描述所有具有质量或能量的物体相互吸引这一自然现象;它解释了物体为何落地,并支配天体的运动。

A scientific framework, originally formulated by Isaac Newton and later refined by Albert Einstein, that describes the natural phenomenon by which all objects with mass or energy are attracted to one another. It explains why objects fall to the ground and governs the motion of celestial bodies.

  1. Newton's Law of Universal GravitationC1formal

    A scientific law stating that every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.
