Question

Which change in the suns gravity would occur if the suns mass were reduced by one half?
it would be unchanged
it would be doubled
it would be zero
it would be cut in half

Answer 1

If the Sun's mass were reduced by one half, the gravitational force it exerts would also be cut in half. This is because gravitational force is directly proportional to mass according to Newton's law of gravitation. Therefore, the correct answer is:

**it would be cut in half.**
