Gravitation: Gravitation is the force of attraction between any two bodies in the universe. Every object attracts every other object with this force, known as the force of gravitation. Examples include the attraction between the Sun and the Earth or between a table and a chair in a room. Gravitation is the weakest of the four fundamental forces in nature but plays a crucial role in the formation of stars and in shaping the structure and evolution of the universe.
Gravity: Gravity is a specific case of gravitation where one of the attracting bodies is the Earth. It refers to the force of attraction between the Earth and any object on or near its surface. For instance, when a body is thrown upward, it falls back to the Earth due to its gravitational pull.
