Gravity or the gravitational field is a vector field, while gravitational force is only a vector.
- Gravity lies in the radial direction from the mass, while gravitational force is in the direction of the line connecting the two masses.
- Gravitational field requires only one mass, while two masses are required for gravitational force.
- Gravitational force is equal to the product of the mass of the test object and the gravitational field intensity.
