What was the geocentric model of the solar system?

Geocentric was a model where the Earth was the Center of the solar system

How did gravity help form the solar system?

Gravity caused rocks to collide and stick forming planets around the sun

How does a planet's distance from the sun relate to its period of revolution?

The closer a planet is to the sun, the shorter the year.

Why are scientific theories modified?

When new technology leads to new evidence.

False
4
How did gravity help form the solar system?
Gravity caused rocks to collide and stick forming planets around the sun
Gravity grabbed the sun from another place and put it in our solar system
Sun's gravity stole the 8 planets that used to orbit a nearby star
Gravity of nearby solar systems pushed our 8 planets near the Sun
5
Which two factors determine the strength of gravity between two objects?
Distance and weight
Mass and distance
Mass and weight
Mass and speed
6
How does a planet's distance from the sun relate to its period of revolution?
The closer a planet is to the sun, the longer the year.
The closer a planet is to the sun, the shorter the year.
All planets have the same length of one year.
The length of a planet's year doesn't relate to the distance from the sun.
7
Why are scientific theories modified?
