The mutual force of gravitation between the earth and the sun would decrease

if the mass of either body decreased, or if the distance between them increased.

Name two ways you could increase the magnitude gravity pulls on an object How could you decrease this force?

For Newtonian gravity, observe that the force (F) between two bodies is a function of only the mass of the bodies and distance between the center of mass of those bodies. F = (G*m1*m2)/r^2; where, G = Gravitational constant, m1 = mass of one body, m2 = mass of second body, r = distance between bodies. It is directly proportional to the mass of the bodies and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Thus, the methods of increasing the magnitude of the force are to increase the mass of either or both of the bodies or decrease the distance between the bodies. Reducing the force can be accomplished by doing the opposite: decreasing mass or increasing distance.

What would cause a decrease in gas pressure in a closed container?

A decrease in gas pressure in a closed container could be caused by a decrease in temperature, which reduces the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules, leading to fewer collisions with the container walls. It could also be caused by a leak in the container allowing gas to escape, or by a chemical reaction that consumes gas molecules.
