If they were both the size of the Sun then the Earth would not form (It would be a star).

Imagining fr a second that Earth did form the bodies would rotate around a common centre of gravity. And we would all be squashed flat by the Super-Earth's gravity (not that we would be there in this totally hypothetical senario).


If they were both the size of the Earth then the Sun would not be nearly large enough to achieve fusion in it's core. So would not be a star.

No stars are expected with masses greater than 150 times our sun because?

All stars are in a balance between gravity crushing them in, and the pressure caused by nuclear fusion at the star's core. And the bigger the star, the greater the amount of energy generated. At some point, the pressure of the stellar fusion is SO powerful that the outer layers of the star are blasted off into space. That point, we believe, is at about 150 solar masses.


Is there more gravitational force between objects with small masses or objects with large masses?

There is more gravitational force between objects with large masses compared to objects with small masses, as gravitational force increases with the mass of the objects. This is described by Newton's law of universal gravitation, which states that the force of gravity is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the two objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.


What are two things that affect the magnitude of gravitational force?

The two things that affect the magnitude of gravitational force are the masses of the objects involved and the distance between them. The greater the masses of the objects, the stronger the gravitational force. Similarly, the closer the objects are, the stronger the gravitational force.


What affect does mass have on the strength of a gravitational force?

The strength of the gravitational force between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses. This means that the greater the mass of the objects, the greater the gravitational force between them.


Is it true that the more matter an object has the greater the pull of gravity on the object?

Yes, that is correct. The force of gravity between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses. Therefore, an object with more matter will have a greater gravitational pull on it compared to an object with less matter.

Is the force of gravity greater between two objects that have greater masses?

Gravity is greater between objects with large masses than between objects with small masses.

Where do air masses not form?

Air masses generally do not form over large bodies of water, such as oceans or seas, due to the lack of temperature variations that are necessary for their development. Instead, air masses typically form over land areas where there is greater contrast in temperature between day and night.


When is the gravity between two objects greater?

When their masses are greater, and when their centers of mass are closer together.


What two objects between the force of gravity is greater?

The force of gravity between two objects depends on their masses and the distance between them. The force is greater when the masses are larger and/or the distance is smaller.


When is the force of gravity between objects greater?

When either or both of their masses are greater, and when their centers are closer together.

Why are there no stars with masses much greater than 100M?

Stars with masses greater than 100 times that of the Sun would burn their fuel so rapidly that they would not have enough time to reach the main sequence before exhausting it and ending their lives in violent supernova explosions. Therefore, there are no stars with masses much greater than 100 solar masses currently observable in the universe.


Why is air masses greater on top of mountain?

because the air pressure is more dense


How would the densities of the sphere and cube have compared if the masses of the cube and sphere had been the same but the volume of the cube had been greater?

Density = Mass/Volume, whatever the shape. So, if the masses are the same, the density is greater when the volume id smaller. Thus the sphere, with the smaller volume has the greater density.


What statement best compares the masses of the two samples?

The masses cannot be compared without a balance.
