Complete the following statement: The farther away two planets are the _______ the gravitational force between them.

• greater

• same

• zero

• less

The mass of Jupiter is 300 x that of the Earth, but a person on its surface would only experience a gravitational attraction 3x that of Earth. What is the best explanation for this according to the Universal Law of Gravitation?

• Jupiter has a really big radius

• Jupiter has many moons

• Jupiter is mostly a rocky planet

• Jupiter is smaller than Saturn
