    The Gravitational Force is reduced 4 times

    Explanation:

    The equation of Gravitational force follows:

    F = (G*m1*m2) / r^2

    Assume that G*m1*m2 = 1 and r = 1:

    F = 1/1^2 = 1 N

    Multiply the radius by 2

    F = 1/2^2 = 1/4 N

    So doubling the distance reduces the force 4 times.
