Question

How does distance affect gravity? (1 point)
Gravity is zero at any point in the solar system.
Gravity remains the same regardless of distance.
Gravity increases with increasing distance.
Gravity increases with decreasing distance.

Answer 1

Gravity increases with decreasing distance.

Reason: gravitational force follows an inverse-square law (F ∝ 1/r^2), so it gets stronger as the distance r between masses gets smaller.
