1. Newton's law of universal gravitation: A physical law that describes the attractive force between two bodies, where the force is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.

2. Gravitational potential energy: The energy an object possesses due to its position in a gravitational field. The greater the height or mass of the object, the more gravitational potential energy it has.

Gravitation has been a significant concept in science since the time of Sir Isaac Newton, who first described it mathematically. It has been a central theme in physics and astronomy, and has been used to explain various phenomena, such as the orbits of planets and the behavior of galaxies.

How to Memorize "gravitation"

1. visualize
   

   - Imagine two planets, each with a large mass. Visualize the force pulling them towards each other, representing the gravitational force between them.

2. associate
   

   - Associate the word 'gravitation' with the concept of 'attraction.' Remember that it is the force that pulls objects towards each other due to their mass.

3. mnemonics
   

   - Use the mnemonic 'Goes Around Very Orbitally, Nearly In Circles' to remember that planets move in elliptical orbits around the sun.
