Answer:
Gravitational force exists between any two bodies having mass. It is proportional to the mass of two bodies and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.
[tex]F=G\frac{Mm}{d^2}[/tex]
Thus, with increase in distance, the gravitational force decreases.
Acorn falls to Earth because of the following two reasons:
1. Mass of Earth > Mass of Moon
2. Acorn is closer to the Earth
Thus, the gravitation force of attraction is greater towards the Earth.
