Question

1. choose the best answer. the force of attraction that the sun uses to hold planets and other space objects in orbit is

current
gravity
energy
intensity

1. choose all that apply. which two factors affect the strength of gravity?

distance
time
mass
temperature

Explanation:

Question 1:

The sun uses gravity to hold planets and other space objects in orbit. The options are current, gravity, energy, intensity. Gravity is the force of attraction between masses, so it's the correct force here.

The formula for gravitational force is \( F = G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2} \), where \( m_1, m_2 \) are masses and \( r \) is distance between them. So mass (of objects) and distance (between them) affect gravity's strength. Time, temperature don't relate to gravity's strength formula.

Answer:

B. gravity (assuming the options are labeled with letters, but from the image, the correct option is the one with "gravity" as the text, so the answer is the option with "gravity" – if we consider the radio buttons, the third radio button (from left) with "gravity" text)
