Gravity is one kind of gravitation- explain.

Gravity is one kind of gravitation- explain.

Every particle of this universe is attracted towards each other. If one of them is earth then this attraction is called gravity, that is the attraction of the earth on any other body is called gravity.

So we can say that in this universe the attraction between any two bodies except earth is called gravitation, but the attraction of the earth on any other body is gravity. Earth is one of the elements of the universe. So the attraction of the earth on any other body is called both gravity and gravitation, but the attraction between any two bodies or particles (with or without earth) in this universe is called gravitation.

So, gravity is one kind of gravitation.
