Because it is farther from the Sun.
Below is an image of two objects represented by m1 and m2. The distance between the objects is r. Using the Law of Universal Gravitation what would happen to the force of gravity if the distance (r) between both objects increased

The force of gravity would increase.

The force of gravity would decrease.

The force of gravity would stay the same.
The force of gravity would decrease.
Using the same image in question #24 what are two ways to increase the force of gravity?

Decrease the mass of m1 or increase the distance between the objects (r).

Decrease the mass of m1 or decrease the distance between the objects (r).

Increase the mass of m1 or increase the distance between the objects (r).

Increase the mass of m1 or decrease the distance between the objects (r).
Increase the mass of m1 or increase the distance between the objects (r).
