The two correct answers for objects in the solar system that do not have the momentum to maintain a stable orbit around the sun are:

  1. They can spiral into the sun.
  2. They can follow erratic orbits that take on different shapes.

These options reflect the behavior of objects with insufficient momentum to maintain a stable orbit, leading to possible scenarios where they either descend toward the sun or exhibit irregular trajectories.
