Gravity is an interaction, and as such is defined in the Interaction Glossary. Please see:

  • Page:
    gravitation (universal) — An interaction between two massive particles resulting in an attractive force exerted on each by the other.  The force is proportional to the gravitational constant G = 6.674 28(67) x 10-11 m3 kg-1 s-2, and the masses of the bodies, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
  • Page:
    gravity (near-earth) — The gravitational force exerted by the earth on an object near the earth's surface.
