What is the measure of the force of attraction between objects due to gravity called?

The force of gravity between two objects is measured in newtons. This is no different, technically, than what weight "should" be measured in. We use pounds and kilograms, but we should be using newtons, to be scientifically correct.


In which system(s) are the distances between the objects the largest compared to the size of the objects?

Planets and stars


Why are objects in the solar system different from eachother?

They are different because they formed at different distances from the sun.


The attractive forces between two objects that depends on their masses and the distances between them is what?

Gravity.


What is the unit of metric distance?

If you define 'distance' as the shortest line between to objects. (Example: the moon and the Earth; or say, Suburb A and Suburb B, then such distances are measured in Metre if the distance is shorter than around about 1 Kilometre, or,. If the distance is greater than a few hundred Metre, it is always measured in Kilometre.


What can be measured with kilometer?

DistanceKilometers can be used to measure length or linear distance.Generally anything over 1,000 metres and less than an AU - eg Roads.


Why do all celestial objects in space not lie on the celestial sphere?

because the objects exist at different distances from earth.


What 2 factors affect the amount of gravity between objects?

Masses and distances


Name and explain the unit used to mesure distance in space?

Distances between earth-orbiting objects, and between those objects and the earth's surface,out to the natural moon: measured in miles or kilometers.Distances between major objects in the solar system, sun, planets, comets etc.:measured in miles, kilometers, and Astronomical Units (AU). The AU is the averagedistance between the earth and sun, roughly 93 million miles.Distances between the solar system and anything outside of it: measured in light-years.The LY is the distance light travels through space in one year, equal to about 63,200 AU,or 5.8787 x 1012 miles.


What measures the distances between objects in the solar system?

The orbit and the roll lover cover.
