Our Solar System

The orbital speeds of planets closer to the Sun will be faster than planets farther away because.....

• The gravity decreases as the distance between the objects increase.

• The gravity increases as the distance between the objects decrease.

• The gravity increases as the mass of the object increases.

• The gravity between the objects decrease as the objects warm up.
