Inertia has Lorentz-Fitzgerald contraction.
Is there a similar (parallel?) contraction equation for Gravitational forces?

Gravity is a fundamental force of nature that causes objects with mass to be attracted to each other.
Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. It is related to an object's mass, with larger objects having more inertia.
Gravity can affect an object's inertia by changing its state of motion. For example, the gravitational force of the Earth keeps the Moon in orbit, continuously altering its direction and speed.
According to Newton's law of gravitation, the force of gravity between two objects is directly proportional to their masses. Therefore, objects with more mass will experience a stronger gravitational pull towards each other.
Gravitational contraction is the process by which an object with a large mass, such as a star, shrinks in size due to the force of its own gravity. This results in an increase in temperature and density at the core of the object.
