    What, if any, is the distance two objects must be apart for neither to have any gravitational effect upon the other?

    Question #122744. Asked by houston1127. (Jul 30 11 4:27 PM)

    		Since the force of gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between two objects, there will exist a finite force at all finite distances. The magnitude of the force, of course, drops off rapidly with distance and as the two objects are smaller in mass.
