When is the gravity between two objects the least?

Back

When the masses of both objects are small and the objects are far apart.

Front

Which planet has the strongest gravity?

Back

The Sun has the strongest gravity.

Front

What happens to your weight on Jupiter compared to Earth?

Back

You would weigh more on Jupiter because it has more mass and therefore more gravity.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and gravity?

Back

The more mass an object has, the stronger its gravitational pull.

Front

What is an example of a force that acts at a distance?

Back

Gravity is an example of a force that acts at a distance.

Front

What does gravity do to objects?

Back

Gravity pulls objects towards each other.

Front

How does distance affect gravity?

Back

The farther apart two objects are, the weaker the gravitational pull between them.

Front

What is the gravitational pull of the Earth?

Back

The Earth has a strong gravitational pull that keeps us and everything else on its surface.

Front

What is the difference between weight and mass?

Back

Weight is the force of gravity on an object, while mass is the amount of matter in the object.
