This example demonstrates the distribution of a Gaussian gravitational field. Key mathematical concepts include the Gaussian function and standard deviation. Using GeoGebra commands, the model constructs the Gaussian gravitational field, including objects A, x_0, σ_x, y_0, σ_y, fg, CR, CG, CB, CO, α, r, B, etc. Suitable for high school physics and mathematics education.
