Definitions

adj.形容词 adjective
  1. 1
    • : Physics. of or relating to the force of attraction between two masses: The gravitational effect of the moon causes the rise and fall of ocean tides.
    • : of or relating to a strong movement or natural tendency toward something or someone: Their gravitational attraction to self-destructive behavior has been the subject of much study.

Examples

  • Nonetheless, scientists increasingly believed gravitational waves would be found.

  • It contains at least six worlds, five of which are locked together in a particular type of gravitational tango.

  • A second measures the wobbling of Mars' axis of rotation, which will be influenced by a combination of the red planet's composition and the gravitational influences of the rest of the Solar System.

  • In fact, our bodies are so used to the gravitational pull of the Earth that without it, our bones and muscles get weak.
