Corrected G, it was missing the scientific notation

Where the force due to gravity equals the mass of the first object, ''m''<sub>1</sub>, is multiplied by the mass of the second object, ''m''<sub>2</sub>, which is then divided by the distace between the center of mass of both objects, r, squared.  This is then multipled by the [[gravitational constant]]: 6.67428 N m<sup>2</sup> Kg <sup>-2</sup>

Gravitation is responsible for making objects accelerate towards each other as well as for the formation of the [[Earth]] and [[Sun]], the [[stars]] and the [[planets]].
