The gravitational attraction between two objects depends on their masses and the distance between them. The larger the mass of an object, the stronger its gravitational attraction. Therefore, Earth and the Sun would have the greatest gravitational attraction because the Sun has a much larger mass than any other objects listed.
The order of gravitational attraction from greatest to least would be:
3. Earth and the Sun
4. Earth and the planet Mercury
1. Earth and the Moon
2. Earth and a bouncy ball
Which would have greater gravitational attraction?
1. Earth and the moon
2. Earth and a bouncy ball
3. Earth and the sun
4. Earth and the planet Mercury
