The gravitational force between two objects depends on two factors: the masses of the objects and the distance between them. According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, the force is directly proportional to the product of the two masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
If the two objects have the same mass, the gravitational force between them will be greater if they are closer to each other because the distance is in the denominator of the equation. As the distance decreases, the force increases.
So, in this scenario, the gravitational force would be greater if the two objects are closer.
would the gravitational force be greater if the 2 object has the same mass but are closer or farter
