Question
why does the moon orbit earth? why does earth orbit the sun? the answer to both questions is the same: gravity!gravity is a fundamental interaction in the universe. it is a force of attraction between all types of matter. everything with mass has a gravitational influence on the objects around it.gravity affects the organization and structure of the universe. not only does it cause celestial objects to orbit each other, but it is also the driving force behind the formation of planets, stars, and galaxies.complete the sentences.gravity is a fundamental force of ____ between all types of matter in the universe. it is responsible for the ____ of moons, planets, and stars.attraction...mass attraction...orbitsrepulsion...mass repulsion...orbits
The text states that gravity is a force of attraction. And it mentions that gravity causes celestial objects to orbit each other. So for the first blank, "attraction" is correct as gravity is an attractive force. For the second blank, "orbits" is correct because the text says gravity causes celestial objects (like moons, planets, stars) to orbit. "Mass" is related to having a gravitational influence but not filling the second blank contextually. "Repulsion" is the opposite of what gravity is (a force of attraction, not repulsion).
