True or False: 6. The greater the distance between two objects, the more the gravitational attraction. 7. All objects in the universe have gravity. 8. Earth's gravity is always pulling us toward the center of the earth. 9. The larger an object's mass, the more gravity it will have. 10. The strength of a gravitational force depends on the mass of objects. 11. The lesser the mass of an object, the greater the pull of gravity on it. 12. The farther you get from the earth, the less you are affected by its gravity.
