In this case, the mass of Planet A is equal to the mass of Planet B. The mass of the sun is much less than the mass of the black hole, and the distances from each planet to the object it orbits are equal. Because the force of gravity between two objects depends on the masses of both objects and the distance between them, the force of gravity between Planet A and the sun is much less than the force of gravity between Planet B and the black hole.
Imagine two planets of equal mass. Planet A orbits the sun, while Planet B orbits a black hole that has 10,000 times the mass of the sun. The distances from
