AboutSteve Johnson Expertise I would be delighted to help with questions up through the first year of college Physics. Particularly Electricity, Electronics and Newtonian Mechanics (motion, acceleration etc.). I decline questions on relativity and Atomic Physics. I also could discuss the Space Shuttle and space flight in general.
Experience I have a BS in Physics and an MS in Electrical Engineering. I am retired now. My professional career was in Electrical Engineering with considerable time spent working with accelerometers, gyroscopes and flight dynamics (Physics related topics) while working on the Space Shuttle. I gave formal classroom lessons to technical co-workers periodically over a several year period.

No we can't, at least not with any knowledge we have now. The force of gravitational attraction, F, between any 2 masses m1 and m2, anyplace in the universe, is given by
F = G*m1*m2/r^2
where G is the constant of Universal Gravitation
G = 6.673*10^-11 nt-m^2/kg^2 and r is the distance between the 2 masses.
