A shorter distance does what to gravity?

• Increases it

• Decreases it

• Increases then decreases it

• Distance does not affect gravity

Why do planets orbit the Sun at different speeds?

• To balance gravity and inertia

• To increase gravity over inertia

• To increase inertia over gravity

• The smaller the planet, the faster the orbit
