How does the density of an object effect its gravitational pull on other objects example when a star's density increases its gravitational pull increases on other objects?

Mass, not density, and the closeness of objects, affects an object's gravitational pull. Density is not dependent on an object's size, but mass is. The more massive an object, and/or the closer an object is to another, the greater its gravitational pull.

What causes matter on earth to have weight?

The weight of an object on Earth is caused by the gravitational force between the object and Earth's mass. The gravitational force pulls objects towards the center of the Earth, giving them weight. The weight of an object is a measure of the force exerted on it due to gravity.


Why does the speed of an object increase as it gets closer to the object its orbiting?

As an object gets closer to the object it's orbiting, the gravitational pull between the two objects increases. This causes the object in orbit to accelerate, increasing its speed to balance the gravitational force and maintain its orbit.
