7.8B DOL Day 2

Front

What is the primary force that keeps Earth in its orbit around the Sun?

Back

Gravitational force.

Front

How does the gravitational force between two planets compare?

Back

The gravitational force is equal in magnitude for both planets.

Front

What happens to gravitational attraction when the mass of objects increases?

Back

The gravitational force increases with an increase in mass.

Front

Why do inner planets orbit the Sun faster than outer planets?

Back

The Sun's gravitational pull is stronger on the inner planets.

Front

What factors affect gravitational force between two objects?

Back

Differences in mass and distance.

Front

Define gravitational force.

Back

The attractive force between two masses.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and gravitational force?

Back

Gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the masses.

Front

What is the effect of distance on gravitational force?

Back

Gravitational force decreases as the distance between two masses increases.

Front

What is orbital motion?

Back

The motion of an object in a curved path around a point in space, such as a planet around the Sun.

Front

What role does the Sun play in the Solar System's gravitational dynamics?

Back

The Sun exerts a strong gravitational pull that keeps planets in orbit.
