How does the sun's gravity compare to the earth's gravity?

• sun's gravity is stronger

• earth's gravity is stronger

• the gravities of the sun and earth are the same

• scientists aren't able to measure the sun's gravity

Why is the earth's gravity stronger than the moon's gravity?

• the earth is more massive than the moon

• the moon is so far away from earth

• the moon has no mass

• the earth has a larger volume than the moon

According to Newton's laws, what might happen to the aerth if its orbit moved farther away from the sun?

• sun's gravitational pull on the earth would increase

• earth's gravitational pull on the moon would increase

• the sun's gravitational pull on the earth would stay the same

• sun's gravitational pull on the earth would decrease

According to Einstein, gravity:

• makes objects fall upward

• doesn't exist when masses are very large

• makes objects bend in space

• bends space and time

Which of these would have the strongest gravitational pull?

• a large, dense star

• a medium-sized planet (less massive than the large dense star)

• a small moon (less massive than the medium-sized planet)

• a comet (less massive than the small moon)

What effect does the moon's gravity have on the earth?

• it keeps the earth in orbit around the sun

• it causes tides in the oceans

• it causes space and time to bend around the earth

• it has no effect on the earth
