What causes mass attraction?
Please expalin it so that its easy to understand?

sairajagopal said:The force of gravitation causes attraction between the bodies. it is a long ranging force.
for small mass particles like nucleus in atom there is nuclear force which is helpful attraction between subatomic particles. THESE ARE SHORT RANGING FORCES.
Bjarne said:But what is that force ?
How does it attrac?
Nabeshin said:It's called gravity. If you want to know how it works, pick up a book on general relativity. If you want to know anything beyond that, I recommend moving this to the philosophy section.
Bjarne said:So what you are saying: we don't no except ist called gravity ?
Mass attraction, also known as gravity, is a fundamental force of nature that causes objects with mass to be pulled towards each other.
Mass attraction is caused by the curvature of spacetime caused by the presence of mass. The more massive an object is, the more it curves the spacetime around it, causing other objects to be pulled towards it.
Mass attraction works by the principle of mass-energy equivalence, as described by Einstein's famous equation E=mc^2. This means that mass is equivalent to energy, and objects with mass have a gravitational pull on each other due to their energy.
No, mass attraction occurs between all objects with mass, regardless of their size. However, the strength of the attraction is dependent on the mass and distance between the objects.
Currently, mass attraction can only be explained by the theory of general relativity. Other theories or phenomena have been proposed, such as modified Newtonian dynamics, but they have not been able to fully explain the observations and measurements of mass attraction.
