Chris is studying the theories of Newton and Einstein.Which theory explains why gravity between two objects changes when the distance between them changes?

Newton’s law of universal gravitation explains how the force between two objects depends on their separation: as the distance increases, the gravitational pull decreases. In fact, the force follows an inverse-square relationship, so doubling the distance makes the force one-fourth as strong. Therefore, the correct choice is Newton’s theory because a greater distance means a weaker pull of gravity.
