Gravitation

What do we mean by gravitation?

The natural phenomenon of attraction between physical objects with mass; the weakest of the four fundamental forces of nature. noun

The act or process of moving under the influence of this attraction. noun

A movement toward a source of attraction. noun

The act of gravitating or tending toward a center of attraction. noun

That attraction between bodies, or that acceleration of one toward another, of which the fall of heavy bodies to the earth is an instance. See gravity, 1. noun

In philology, the tendency of sounds and syllables having little or no stress to become merged in the accented syllable, or to fall away entirely; the absorption of weaker elements. noun

Figuratively, a prevailing tendency of mental or social forces or activities toward some particular point or result. noun

The act of gravitating. noun

That species of attraction or force by which all bodies or particles of matter in the universe tend toward each other; called also attraction of gravitation, universal gravitation, and universal gravity. See Attraction, and Weight. noun

That law in accordance with which gravitation acts, namely, that every two bodies or portions of matter in the universe attract each other with a force proportional directly to the quantity of matter they contain, and inversely to the squares of their distances. noun

The fundamental force of attraction that exists between all particles with mass in the universe. It is the weakest of the four forces, and possesses a gauge boson known as the graviton. noun

Movement downward resulting from gravitational attraction noun

(physics) the force of attraction between all masses in the universe; especially the attraction of the earth's mass for bodies near its surface noun

A figurative movement toward some attraction noun

The fundamental force of attraction that exists between all particles with mass in the universe. It is the weakest of the four forces, and possesses a gauge boson known as the graviton.
