It would make the gravity of the star have more power.

As for your question, it all depends.

If the planet was bigger than the star, the star would be pulled in gravatationally(if that's even a word).

If the star were bigger than the planet, the planet would be pulled in.

What is the effect of mass on the gravitational attraction between objects?

If there is more mass, there will be more gravitational attraction.


Does distance between objects effect the gravitational attraction between them?

Yes. At a greater distance, the gravitational attraction between two objects is less.


What gravitional pull has the greatest effect on tides?

On Earth it's the moon.


Sir Isaac Newton realized in studing gravitional force that two things were always true about the amount of gravitional force an object has and the effect it has on nearby objects What did he realize?

Gravity is proportional to mass and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two bodies.


If the mass of the star were doubledwhat effect would this have on the gravitational attrection between the star and its planet Explain?

Newton's equation of gravity is F=G(M1M2)/R2 where F is the force (gravity), G is the gravitational constant, which is about 6.67*10-11 N-m²/kg². However, this is not part of the problem. The M's are the masses of the objects and R is the distance between the two bodies. If the star's mass (M1) were doubled, then the attraction between the star and the planet would also double.


What is the shielding effect trend?

The reduction in the force of attraction between the nucleus and outer most electron is known as shielding effect


Mass and air resistance affect the gravitational attraction between objects true or false?

This is false. The answer is that mass and distance affect the gravitational attraction between objects. Air resistance has no effect on this.


The effect of inner electrons on the attraction between the nucleus and the outer electrons of an atom is called?

electronegativity


What does the gravitational effect on the moon got to do with the rise and fall of the sea?

It is not the gravitional effect ON the moon, but the gravitional effect OF the moon. The moon pulls on the earth, just as the earth pulls on the moon. The pull of the moon causes water to be drawn towards the moon, and forms a "bump" in the level of water. As the earth rotates below the water, the raised part of the water has the effect of making the water get deeper, then shallower. Those are the tides.


What effect would increasing the mass of two object have on gravitational attraction between them?

the gravitational attraction would increase, because the more mass something has the more gravitational pull it has.


Do forces of attraction have a stronger effect on behavior of the particles in gas or in a liquid?

Forces of attraction have a stronger effect on the behavior of liquid particles.
