To determine which image shows objects exerting more gravitational force on each other, we need to consider two main factors: the masses of the objects and the distance between them. According to the law of universal gravitation, the gravitational force (F) between two objects is given by the formula:

\[ F = G \frac{m_1 \times m_2}{r^2} \]

Where:

  • \( F \) is the gravitational force,
  • \( G \) is the gravitational constant,
  • \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \) are the masses of the two objects,
  • \( r \) is the distance between the centers of the two objects.

Without seeing the images, I can't definitively say which one exerts more gravitational force. However, if you can provide details about the masses of the objects and their distances in each image, I would be able to help you determine which one exerts more gravitational force. If such information is not provided, then the correct response is likely:
