Question

which object in the solar system has the largest gravitational impact on the earth
a the sun because it is so massive
b jupiter because it is the largest planet
c venus because it is the closest planet to the earth
d all objects will exert equal gravitation force on the earth

Explanation:

According to Newton's law of universal gravitation \(F = G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}\), where \(G\) is the gravitational constant, \(m_1\) and \(m_2\) are the masses of two objects, and \(r\) is the distance between them. The Sun has a much larger mass (\(m_1\)) compared to other objects like Jupiter, Venus etc. in the solar - system. Although Venus is closer to Earth than the Sun, the mass factor of the Sun dominates. Jupiter, despite being a large planet, is much farther from Earth than the Sun. And it is impossible for all objects to exert equal gravitational force as their masses and distances from Earth are different.

Answer:

A. the Sun because it is so massive
