• In a square

• Orbits around the sun in a counterclockwise direction.

• Zig Zags

Why do the planets move the way that they do?

• Because the inertia keeps the planets going straight down but the gravitational pull keeps it going in a circle.

• Because that's what the book says

• To keep them from unconnecting

• To make them stay in a path

How does the mass of an object affect gravity?

• It doesn't

• The more mass an object has the more gravity

• The less mass the more gravity it has

• Mass doesn't affect gravity

How does the distance between two objects affect the force of gravity?

• Doesn't change anything

• The farther away, the less gravity it will have

• The closer the object the less gravity is

• Gravity has no force

What is the difference between the inner and outer planets?

• Outer planets are made of gas and inner planets are solid

• Inner planets are made of gas and outer planets are solid

• Inner planets move faster than outer planets

• Outer planets move faster than inner planets

Why does your weight change on different planets?

• Planets have different amounts of gravity. It just depends on how far it is from the sun.

• Your weight stays the same

• Because you're somewhere new

• It just does

What is inertia?

• The ring of the solar system

• The force that makes the earth go down. If when the earth was going downwards gravity let out we would go in a straight path away from the sun

• The way the earth moves

• The force applied to keep the sun and earth connected

What is gravity?

• The force that keeps us on the earth and not floating out to the sun.

• The distance we move

• The direction we move in

• The mass of earth
