Question
as the distance between the sun and earth changes as earth travels in its orbit, the force of gravity on earth by the sun also changes. recall that the closer objects are, the greater the force of gravity between them. the graph shows the gravitational force exerted on earth by the sun for one revolution. identify: circle the section of the graph that shows when earth is moving closer to the sun. check your answer. circle your answer. force of gravity on earth by the sun over time force of gravity j f m a m j j a s o n d month start over check
Step1: Recall gravitational - force principle
The closer the Earth is to the Sun, the greater the gravitational force exerted by the Sun on the Earth according to Newton's law of universal gravitation.
Step2: Analyze the graph
We need to find the part of the graph where the force of gravity is increasing. Looking at the graph of "Force of Gravity on Earth by the Sun Over Time", the force of gravity starts to increase from the minimum - point. As the force increases, the Earth is moving closer to the Sun. The section of the graph from the lowest point (around July) to the end (around December) shows the force of gravity increasing.
