Weight is the measurement of

the amount of the pull of gravity on an object.

The Sun was formed when

matter was pulled into the center of spinning gas and dust.

How would the planets in the solar system move if not affected by the Sun's gravity?

In different random paths through space.

Which of the following statements is the reason why the planets and stars are round?

Gravity pulls toward the center of the planet or star.

The gravitational force between 2 planets depends on

the mass of the planets and the distance between them.
