You need to clarify your language to get a precise answer to this. If you're talking Newtonian gravity, then there is an inverse-square law field created by every particle of the form mG/r^2. The field at a point has to do with how far you are from all particles in the system. In general relativity, things get uglier, but in general the field still depends on how the mass and energy of particles is distributed in space with respect to the observation point.
Does the spatial distance between individual particles have an effect on the strength of the gravitational field?
