The greater the object’s mass, the less its gravitational force will be.
The greater the object’s mass, the less its gravitational force will be.

The farther away an object is, the greater its gravitational force will be.
The farther away an object is, the greater its gravitational force will be.

The greater the object’s mass and the closer it is, the greater its gravitational force.
The greater the object’s mass and the closer it is, the greater its gravitational force.

The object only has gravitational force when it is on the surface of a massive body, such as Earth.

The statement that best describes the gravitational force of an object is:

"The greater the object’s mass and the closer it is, the greater its gravitational force."

This reflects the principles of gravity as described by Newton's law of universal gravitation, where both mass and distance influence gravitational attraction.
