Abstract
In this work, we show that it is possible to study the notion of a geodesic deviation equation in gravity, in spite of the fact that in teleparallel gravity there is no notion of geodesics, and the torsion is responsible for the appearance of gravitational interaction. In this regard, we obtain the general relativity equivalent equations for gravity, which are in the modified gravity form such as gravity. Then, we obtain the geodesic deviation equation within the context of this modified gravity. In this way, the obtained geodesic deviation equation will correspond to the gravity. Eventually, we extend the calculations to obtain the modification of the Mattig relation.
