FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Jessica has created the diagram shown to model three planets in the order of their gravitational force with the sun. Which change to the model will make it more accurate and why? Options: Reorder the planets to Mercury, Earth, Jupiter, because the Sun pulls more strongly on smaller planets than on larger planets. Reorder the planets to Mercury, Earth, Jupiter, because both distance from the Sun and the planets’ masses influence gravitational pull. Keep the same order but move Earth and Mercury much farther away, because gravitational pull increases as distance from the Sun increases. Put all three planets the same distance from the Sun, because the Sun’s constant mass causes the same gravitational pull on all three planets.

Reorder the planets to Mercury, Earth, Jupiter, because both distance from the Sun and the planets’ masses influence gravitational pull.
