other planets' gravitational pull

moon's gravitational pull
moon's gravitational pull

Sun's gravitational pull
Sun's gravitational pull

Earth's gravitational pull

Answer 1

The most responsible for keeping the moon in orbit around Earth is Earth's gravitational pull.

Answer 2

A diagram shows how gravity on Earth works on an object located in different spots in a seaside community. Where is gravity between Earth and an object the strongest?(1 point)
Responses

when the object is on the highest branch of a pine tree
when the object is on the highest branch of a pine tree

when the object is on top of a nearby mountain
when the object is on top of a nearby mountain

when the object is on top of a telephone pole
when the object is on top of a telephone pole

when an object is at sea level

Answer 3

Gravity between Earth and an object is the strongest when an object is at sea level. This is because gravitational force decreases with altitude, meaning it is strongest closer to the Earth's surface.

Answer 4

An orange falls off of a tree. Gravity is pulling the orange in which direction?(1 point)
Responses

toward the nearest branch
toward the nearest branch

toward the atmosphere of Earth
toward the atmosphere of Earth

toward the middle of the tree
toward the middle of the tree

toward the center of Earth
toward the center of Earth

Answer 5

Gravity is pulling the orange toward the center of Earth.

Answer 6

planets' gravitational pull on one another

Earth's gravitational pull
Earth's gravitational pull

moon's gravitational pull

Answer 7

The force that prevents the planets in our solar system from floating away is the Sun's gravitational pull.
