In depends on two things:

1. The masses of the objects

2. The distance of the objects between them

Observations.

The greater the distance, the smaller the force of gravity. The smaller the distance, the greater the force of gravity. The greater the masses of the objects, the greater the force of gravity. The smaller the masses the smaller the force of gravity.
