All bodies in the universe attract all other bodies with a force proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Curiously enough an object inside a hollow sphere is pulled equally in all directions by the sphere wherever it is positioned inside it.

Gravatic attraction will vary with the square of the distance as the distance increases and will vary with the inverse square as the distance decreases.

inversely as per the square of the distance. If they move twice as far from each other then the force is cut to one-quarter.

umm i forgot the equation but its something like G=(Mm)/r^2
where r is the distance between them...there is also a constant there somewhere
