F = G m₁ m₂ / d², so the force is proportional to the product of the masses.
F is proportional to 1 / d². Doubling d makes the force one quarter.
The acceleration due to gravity near Earth's surface is about 9.8 m/s².
The Moon has less mass, so g there is about one sixth of the value on Earth.
Gravity pulls the satellite towards the Earth and acts as the centripetal force that keeps it on a curved path.
Mass is the amount of matter and does not change with place. Only weight changes.
Gravity only attracts.
G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg².
The astronaut and spacecraft fall together.
v = square root of (G M / r).
