What is gravitational force?

The force of attraction between any two objects

Which best explains the answer to the last question.

The more mass, the greater its force of gravity is.

Choose TWO answers that explain the effect that mass and distance have on the gravity

The closer distance = the greater the gravity, more mass = more gravity

How does the size of an object impact gravity?

The larger the mass of an object, the more gravity it has.

Why is it impossible to "defy gravity"?

Gravity exists every place there are two objects

4
Which best explains the answer to the last question.
Gravity pulls objects toward the center of a system
The larger an object is in diameter, the greater the gravity
The more mass, the greater its force of gravity is.

5
Choose TWO answers that explain the effect that mass and distance have on the gravity
The closer distance = the greater the gravity
more mass = more gravity
Farther apart = greater the gravity
