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.

Would an object have a greater gravitational pull closer or farther from earth?

An object have greater gravitational pull closer from earth. As we get farther from earth, the gravitational pull becomes weaker. That is why objects sufficiently away from the earth do not fall on it.


Why are the inner planets closer to each other?

The inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) are closer to each other because they formed from a protoplanetary disk closer to the Sun. The gravitational forces and interactions within the disk caused these planets to form in closer proximity compared to the outer planets.


What are the distances between planets greater between the inner or outer planets?

The inner planets are closer together than the outer planets are.


Terrestrail planets move more rapidly in their orbits than the jovian planets because terrestrail planets are?

Terrestrial planets are closer to the sun than gas giants, which means they have shorter orbital periods. This leads to terrestrial planets moving more rapidly in their orbits compared to gas giants. It is a result of the gravitational pull from the sun being stronger on planets closer to it, causing them to move faster.


How does a planets distance from the sun affect the planets orbit speed?

A planet's distance from the sun affects its orbit speed through Kepler's Third Law of Planetary Motion. The closer a planet is to the sun, the faster it travels in its orbit. This is because the sun's gravitational pull is stronger closer to the sun, causing the planet to move faster to maintain its orbital balance.

Why do planets move slightly closer to the sun at certain parts of the orbit?

The gravitational pull


When a large objectsvmove closer together the force of gravity becomes?

Stronger, as the gravitational force between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. By moving closer together, the distance between the objects decreases, increasing the gravitational force between them.


Why do the 4 inner planets revolve around the sun at a faster speed?

The inner planets revolve around the sun at faster speeds because they are closer to the sun, which results in a stronger gravitational pull. This stronger gravitational pull causes the inner planets to move faster in order to maintain their orbits around the sun.

Is the distance between inner planets less or greater than the distance between the outer planets?

The inner planets are closer together than the outer ones.

Will more massive objects attract each other with a greater gravitational force or a smaller gravitational force?

The more massive the objects, the greater the gravitational force between them. The gravitational force is affected by mass and distance. The closer two bodies are, the greater the gravitational force also.


What keeps the planets and sun in orbit?

The question probably means "What keeps the planets in orbit around the Sun?" The answer to that is : The Sun's gravitational attraction provides the force needed to keep the planets in orbit. This force doesn't pull the planets any closer to the Sun, but it stops the planets moving away (at a tangent to their orbits) due to their own velocities.


How does a planets distance from the sun affect the planets orbit speed?

A planet's distance from the sun affects its orbit speed through Kepler's Third Law of Planetary Motion. The closer a planet is to the sun, the faster it travels in its orbit.
