1
How does the mass of an object affect its gravitational force?
The larger the mass, the gravitational pull goes up.
The smaller the mass, the gravitational pull goes up.
The larger the mass, the gravitational pull goes down
2
Why does the sun appear to rise in the EAST and set in the WEST?
The sun is moving, around the Earth
The moon's position makes makes it appear that way
