Gravitation refers to the force that attracts two objects towards each other. It is a fundamental principle in physics, which states that every object with mass has an attraction for all other matter. This means that the more massive an object is, the greater its gravitational pull will be on nearby objects. Gravitation was first discovered by Sir Isaac Newton and later explained through his law of universal gravitation. The force of gravity plays a significant role in our daily lives, from keeping us grounded to influencing the motion of celestial bodies such as planets and stars.
