Stays the same
Why do we have a stronger gravitational attraction with Earth than the Sun?
the sun has a larger mass
the Earth has a larger mass
we are closer to center of sun
we are closer to center of Earth
As distance between two objects increases by a factor of 3 the pull of gravity
Increases 3X

What would the gravitational force be between the Sun and Mars if they were 2.3 x 1011 m apart? The masses for the Sun and Jupiter are 1.99 x 1030 kg and 6.42 x 1023 kg, respectively.
Fg = 3.8 x 1015 N
Fg = 2.8 x 10-42 N
Fg = 1.6 x 1021 N
Fg = 4.6 x 10-75 N

The sum of their diameters
The center of their masses
The furthest reaches of their orbits
The tips of one of their poles
