Question

why is Newton's law of gravitation known as UNIVERSE SQUARE LAW?

(UNIVERSE SQUARE LAW, NOT UNIVERSAL LAW)

​

Answer 1

It is called so because it is applicable on all bodies having mass, and the bodies will be governed by the same law, that is newton's law of gravitation. Thus, as it is applicable universally, it is called as universal law

Answer 2

Explanation:

Newton's equation first appeared in the Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, July 1687. It describes why that apple fell from that tree in that orchard in Lincolnshire. Whether or not that apple actually landed on Isaac Newton's head, as some stories would have it, this equation describes why you stay rooted to the ground, what locks the Earth in orbit around the sun and was used by Nasa engineers to send men to the moon.
