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.

Gravity only works over short distances, so the farther away an object is, the greater its gravitational force will be.

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 aligns with the universal law of gravitation, which states that gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the masses of two objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.
