What happens to the force of gravity on a satellite as it gets closer to the sun?

The forces of gravity between any two objects depend on the mass of theobjects ... stronger for greater mass ... and on the distance between them ...stronger for smaller distance.


At what point is a spaceship beyond pull of earths gravity?

Earth's gravity gets weaker and weaker at greater distances, but it never disappears completely. To be more precise, there is an inverse-square law: For example, if you increase the distance by a factor of 10, the force will be 100 times less.Earth's gravity gets weaker and weaker at greater distances, but it never disappears completely.

Why are planets their moons asteroids and comets not stars?

The moon will not die out. The asteroids and comets are the same. A comet (asteroid) are rocks from space.When it gets to close to the Earth it gets pulled by gravity and it causes this space rock to catch on fire.


Does the pull of earth's gravity get weaker the farther away you are from Earth?

Yes. The force of attraction between two objects is inversely proportional to the square of separation between the objects. That's why if we move away from the Earth (or any stellar object), the pull of gravity gets weaker. You could also say that the farther you are from another mass, the smaller your *mutual* attraction by gravity, since all objects attract all other objects. It is only in asteroids, moons, planets, and stars that we begin to see it as an appreciable force.

If a constant force is spread over an area and that area gets smaller what happens?

If the force remains constant, then the pressure - which is force per unit area - will increase.

What force forms stars?

The force of gravity pulls the material together that will form a star. As the material is compressed by gravity, it heats up. The heat begins countering the compressive force of the gravity. As the star gets smaller, the heat gets hotter. Finally the heat gets hot enough to set off nuclear explosions in the center of the star. That counters the compression. The star cools as its surface. As it cools it compresses which heats it which sets off more nuclear explosions. That continues until it burns up all its hydrogen.

What happens when decrease in numerator and increase in denominator?

The fraction gets smaller or increases, depending on whether the numerator and denominator are positive or negative.
