Does gravitational force become greater or less when planets get closer to the sun?

Answer 1

Nothing happens to gravity. It always works according to the same exact formula,

regardless of how far apart or close together the objects are.

According to that formula, we can see that when the objects are closer together,

the gravitational force between them becomes greater.

Answer 2

As two planets get closer to gether, the gravitational force between them increases. But it increases as a function of the inverse square of the distance between the two planets. Let's look at a couple of examples. If two planets are pulling on each other from some distance apart and the distance is cut in half, the gravitational force acting on them is now 4 times as great. By the same token, if two planets are some distance apart and gravity is pulling each one toward the other and the distance between them is doubled, the force of gravity acting between them is only 1/4th as much.

Answer 3

Discovered by the English physicist Isaac newton law of universal gravitation that extends gravity beyond earth.

"The principle that two particles attract each other with forces directly proportionalto the product of their masses divided by the square of the distance between them (inverse square law)".

Weight = (G x M x m)/R2

where G is gravitational constant, M is the mass of the Earth, m is our mass, R is the radius of the Earth.

Answer 4

Being closer to the Sun does not effect the gravity of a planet. But being closer can effect that planets atmosphere and temperature.

Answer 5

The gravitational force between them increases, the same if they grow in mass.

Answer 6

In that case, the gravitational force increases.

Answer 7

Greater.
