Question

How did Issac newton apply what he learned about gravity to the universe?

Answer 1

Newton's law of universal gravitation states that every mass attracts every other mass in the universe, and the gravitational force between two bodies is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The legend is that Newton discovered Gravity when he saw a falling apple while thinking about the forces of nature. Whatever really happened, Newton realized that some force must be acting on falling objects like apples because otherwise they would not start moving from rest.

Answer 2

He discovered gravitational force and established the three Universal Laws of Motion.
