How does the Sun's gravity compare to the Earth's gravity?
The sun's gravity is stronger
The Earth's gravity is stronger
Their gravitational pull is 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 Earth if its orbit moved farther away from the Sun?
The Sun's gravitational pull on the Earth would increase
The Earth's gravitational pull on the Moon would increase
The gravitational pull on the Earth would stay the same
The Sun's gravitational pull on the Earth would decrease
What theory did Albert Einstein introduce to challenge Newton's ideas?
