The correct statement about the Milky Way galaxy and the Andromeda galaxy is: They both exert a strong gravitational pull on each other.

While the Milky Way is indeed a spiral galaxy, the Andromeda galaxy (M31) is also classified as a spiral galaxy. Additionally, the Andromeda galaxy is larger than the Milky Way in terms of size and number of stars. Therefore, the statement that they are both exerting a strong gravitational pull on each other is the most accurate.

Which planet is approximately four times larger than the diameter of Venus on a scale model?(1 point) Responses Mars Mars Neptune Neptune Mercury Mercury Earth

The planet that is approximately four times larger than the diameter of Venus on a scale model is Neptune.

In terms of diameter, Venus is about 12,104 kilometers, and Neptune's diameter is about 49,244 kilometers, which makes it roughly four times larger than Venus. Therefore, the correct response is Neptune.

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

The correct response is: Gravity increases with decreasing distance.

According to the law of universal gravitation, the gravitational force between two objects decreases as the distance between them increases. Thus, gravity gets stronger as the distance between two masses decreases.
