Answer 1

A model shows that the moon has grown to twice its size, yet it has remained in the same place. In one to two sentences, explain how this would impact the gravity between Earth and the moon.

Answer 2

Inner Planets:
Earth
smaller
rocky
shorter year
more dense

Outer Planets:
Jupiter
larger
gaseous
longer year
less dense

Answer 3

If the moon has doubled in size but remains in the same place, the gravitational force between Earth and the moon would increase. This is because gravitational force is directly proportional to the masses of the objects involved, so a larger moon would result in a stronger gravitational pull between the Earth and the moon.
