Sophia, Noah, and Ava are on a space adventure! They discover four mysterious pairs of space objects, each with different masses but all 100 km apart. Which pair will experience the GREATEST amount of gravitational force between them? Help our explorers figure it out!

• M1 = 1,000 kg, M2 = 75 kg, distance = 100 km

• M1 = 1,000 kg, M2 = 50 kg, distance = 100 km

• M1 = 1,000 kg, M2 = 25 kg, distance = 100 km

• M1 = 1,000 kg, M2 = 100 kg, distance = 100 km

Benjamin, Daniel, and Isla are stargazing with their new telescope. They wonder how this invention changed what people know about our solar system. What did the telescope help scientists discover?

• It provided evidence that stars are at the center of the solar system.

• It provided evidence that the Sun is at the center of the solar system.

• It provided evidence that the Moon is at the center of the solar system.

• It provided evidence that Earth is at the center of the solar system.

Abigail, Aria, and Kai are curious about why the planets in our solar system revolve around the Sun. Can you help them figure it out? The Sun is...

• made of hydrogen and helium.

• older than other objects in the solar system.

• the source of most heat and light energy.

• the strongest source of gravity in the solar system.

Priya, Evelyn, and Avery are stargazing and start wondering: Why does the Moon keep circling around Earth instead of floating away into space? Which is the BEST explanation?

• The Moon has a thinner atmosphere than Earth.

• The Moon is too large to move away from Earth.

• The Moon is attracted by the gravity of Earth.

• The Moon has a smaller gravitational force than Earth.
