gravitatsiooniliselt

Gravitatsiooniliselt is an Estonian adverb that translates to "gravitationally" in English. It refers to phenomena or actions that are caused by or related to gravity. For example, an object might move gravitatsiooniliselt towards a larger mass due to the force of gravity.

In physics, the term "gravitationally" is used to describe interactions between objects that possess mass. This interaction is what causes celestial bodies like planets and stars to orbit each other. The strength of this gravitational force depends on the masses of the objects involved and the distance between them.

The concept of gravity was famously described by Isaac Newton's law of universal gravitation, which states that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers. Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity provides a more comprehensive understanding, describing gravity not as a force but as a curvature of spacetime caused by mass and energy.

Therefore, when something happens "gravitatsiooniliselt," it implies that gravity is the underlying mechanism or influence at play. This can range from the simple act of an apple falling from a tree to the complex movements of galaxies within the universe. The term emphasizes the role of gravitational attraction in shaping the physical world.
