I was reading a book on Physics a few years back and this was the symbology it used.

Yes, it's a pretty good analogy, as it can show distinct 'gravity wells', the influence of which varies depending on the mass and size of the object you put on the tramapoline.

So a very small but very dense object will cause a much steeper well than a large object with the same mass, as the large object has to bend more space...
