Saturn is about 95 times more massive than Earth. How would this affect the amount of gravity felt on the 2 planets?

• Both will have the same gravitational pull

• Earth will have a higher gravitational pull because it contains less mass

• Saturn will have a higher gravitational pull because it contains more mass

• Saturn will have less gravity because it is farther from the sun

Why do the terrestrial planets orbit the sun instead of any other body in the solar system?

• The sun is the most massive object, gravitational attraction is related to mass

• The rotational motions of these planets cause them to remain in orbit around the sun

• The terrestrial planets actually orbit Jupiter not the sun

• The terrestrial planets are stuck in orbit due to past collisions from other celestial objects
