No, the mass of gravity itself does not decrease with distance. Gravity is a force that is determined by the mass and distance between two objects. According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, the force of gravity between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.
Mathematically, the formula for the gravitational force (F) between two objects is given by:
F = (G * m1 * m2) / r^2
Where:
- F is the gravitational force between the objects.
- G is the gravitational constant (a fundamental constant in physics).
- m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects.
- r is the distance between the centers of the two objects.
As you can see, the mass of the objects involved in the gravitational interaction does not change with distance. However, the force of gravity weakens as the distance between the objects increases due to the inverse square relationship. So, while the force of gravity decreases with distance, the masses of the objects themselves remain the same.
It's important to note that the concept of "mass of gravity" can be misleading. Gravity is not an object with mass itself but rather a force that acts between objects with mass.
