gravitation
n 1: (physics) the force of attraction between all masses in the
universe; especially the attraction of the earth's mass for
bodies near its surface; "the more remote the body the less
the gravity"; "the gravitation between two bodies is
proportional to the product of their masses and inversely
proportional to the square of the distance between them";
"gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling
in love"--Albert Einstein [syn: gravity, gravitation,
gravitational attraction, gravitational force]
2: movement downward resulting from gravitational attraction;

(devil)
GRAVITATION, n. The tendency of all bodies to approach one another
with a strength proportion to the quantity of matter they contain --
the quantity of matter they contain being ascertained by the strength
of their tendency to approach one another. This is a lovely and
edifying illustration of how science, having made A the proof of B,
makes B the proof of A.

gravitation acts, namely, that every two bodies or
portions of matter in the universe attract each other with
a force proportional directly to the quantity of matter
they contain, and inversely to the squares of their
distances.
[1913 Webster]Attraction \At*trac"tion\, n. [L. attractio: cf. F. attraction.]
1. (Physics) An invisible power in a body by which it draws
anything to itself; the power in nature acting mutually
between bodies or ultimate particles, tending to draw them
together, or to produce their cohesion or combination, and
conversely resisting separation.
[1913 Webster]

Note: Attraction is exerted at both sensible and insensible
distances, and is variously denominated according to
its qualities or phenomena. Under attraction at
sensible distances, there are, -- (1.)

Attraction of gravitation, which acts at all distances
throughout the universe, with a force proportional
directly to the product of the masses of the bodies and
inversely to the square of their distances apart. (2.)

Magnetic, diamagnetic, and electrical attraction, each
of which is limited in its sensible range and is polar in
its action, a property dependent on the quality or
condition of matter, and not on its quantity. Under
attraction at insensible distances, there are, -- (1.)

Adhesive attraction, attraction between surfaces of
sensible extent, or by the medium of an intervening
substance. (2.)

Cohesive attraction, attraction between ultimate particles,
whether like or unlike, and causing simply an aggregation
or a union of those particles, as in the absorption of
gases by charcoal, or of oxygen by spongy platinum, or the
process of solidification or crystallization. The power in
adhesive attraction is strictly the same as that of
cohesion. (3.)

Capillary attraction, attraction causing a liquid to rise,
in capillary tubes or interstices, above its level
outside, as in very small glass tubes, or a sponge, or any
porous substance, when one end is inserted in the liquid.
It is a special case of cohesive attraction. (4.)

Chemical attraction, or

affinity, that peculiar force which causes elementary
atoms, or groups of atoms, to unite to form molecules.
[1913 Webster]

2. The act or property of attracting; the effect of the power
or operation of attraction. --Newton.
[1913 Webster]

3. The power or act of alluring, drawing to, inviting, or
engaging; an attractive quality; as, the attraction of
beauty or eloquence.
[1913 Webster]

4. That which attracts; an attractive object or feature.
[1913 Webster]

Syn: Allurement; enticement; charm.

of a substance or of an instrument of precision; as, the
dielectric constant of quartz; the collimation constant of
