Question
choose the best option for the blank. the force of gravity is stronger between celestial objects that have ______ mass. choose 1 answer: a less b more
According to the law of universal gravitation, the gravitational force between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses (and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them). So, greater mass of celestial objects leads to a stronger gravitational force between them. Option A (less) would imply a weaker gravitational force, which is incorrect. Option B (more) fits the relationship described by the law of gravitation.
