Is Jupiter larger or smaller?
smaller
What the asteroids are larger or smaller than planets?
are asteroids smaller or larger than planets
How are the moons of asteroids formed?
Although many asteroids accreted through gravity and tidal interactions, their "moons" would simply be smaller asteroids or meteoroids that were caught in the gravitational pull. Unless they approach directly and collide, they can form orbits around the larger body until perturbed by some other body.
Why do the larger outer planets have more satellites than the smaller planets?
This is because the larger planets have more of a gravitational pull. The higher attraction you have to other objects the more likely you are to have them around you. Some believe earth only has a moon because it collided with us from space.
Why do gas giant planets have more moons orbiting them than terrestrial planets?
They are larger and so they have more gravity.
Is the Sun's gravitational force larger or smaller than the Earth's?
about 330,000 times stronger
Will the effect of the suns gravitational attraction on venus be smaller or larger than mars?
yes sure it is silly
How is the gravitational force related to the distance between objects?
At a larger distance, the gravitional force gets smaller.
Will the raindrop with larger mass will fall earlier or that with the smaller mass?
yes. gravitational force will act more powerfully on larger mass drop while on smaller mass drop less gravity acts.
When looking through a covex lens will an object appear larger or smaller?
larger
How do the gravitational forces on a heavier mass compare to a smaller mass?
A larger mass has a larger gravitational force. Force is proportional to mass and inversely proportional to the square of the distance. However, it must be noted that the two objects exert the same force on each other.
Why does sunlight attract dust?
sunlight doesn't attract dust, it only helps you see it
Can smaller continents form from larger continents by rifting?
No. Its through paleomagnetism.
How do you define an orbit in astronomy?
An orbit is the circular or elliptical motion of one smaller body around another larger body due to gravitational attraction.
Why does earth attract near by objects with significant force?
A force called "gravity" makes that any mass attract any other mass. The larger the masses, the stronger will the force be. The greater the distance, the smaller will this force be.
What is smaller when its larger and larger when its smaller?
Negative Numbers.
What type tide is created when the Sun's gravitational pull on Earth is at its least?
A larger, more powerful tide to the side of the moon, and a weaker, smaller tide toward the sun
