Two factors effecting the strength of gravity between 2 objects are...
distance and weight
mass and matter
mass and distance
A(n) _____ is the curved path of an object around a point/object in space.
orbit
rotation
revolution
phase
What prevents planets from drifting off into space and keeps it in the planets in our Solar System?
Gravity
Weight
Friction
Forward Motion
What is true about the distance between a planet and the sun and the planet’s revolution around the Sun?
The closer the planet is to the sun, the slower it orbits.
The farther the planet is to the sun, the faster it orbits.
The farther the planet is to the sun, the brighter the sun is.
The closer the planet is to the sun, the faster it orbits.
What would happen to Earth if the Sun's gravity dissappeared?
Earth would continue to orbit in our Solar System normally.
Earth would sit motionless and not moving.
Earth would drift off in space because nothing would hold it in the Solar System.
Earth would move toward the Sun and eventually crash into it.
Do planets affect the sun? Why?
No. The Sun pulls on the planets and keep them in orbit.
Yes. Sun pulls on planets; planets pull on Sun.
How does changing the distance between objects affect the force of gravity?
Decreasing distance increases gravity
Increasing distance increases gravity
Mr. Deem knows, but he's not telling
Distance does not affect gravity
What is weight?
how much fat is on your body
how strong you are
how strongly your body is being pulled down by gravity
when you have to stand in line
