Question

Which statement describes how Earth compares to the moon?

Earth has more inertia than the moon.
The moon has more gravitational pull than Earth.
The moon rotates at a constant speed while Earth’s speed varies.
Earth and the moon will not change their motion when acted on by a force.

GPT-5 mini · Answer

"Earth has more inertia than the moon."

Inertia depends on mass, and Earth is much more massive than the Moon (about 81 times), so it resists changes in motion more. The other choices are incorrect: the Moon does not have a stronger gravitational pull than Earth, both bodies' rotation/orbital speeds change somewhat (not one constant while the other's varies), and forces do change the motion of objects (contradicting the fourth statement).
