| Feb 14, 2017 at 4:01 | comment | added | Jold | "Why" questions are always tricky to answer, but en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss's_law may be what you're looking for. The electric/gravitational field spreads out as the surface area of a sphere, and the surface area of a sphere is proportional to $r^2$. | |
