Using what you learned about gravity today, explain why the answer you chose in the previous question occurred.
Go into the PhET simulation and press play. Increase the mass of the sun to 1.5x. Observe the revolution of our Earth for 500 Earth days. What happens?
The Earth's revolution around the Sun does not change
The Earth crashes into the Sun, exploding dramatically
The Earth leaves the Sun's orbit completely, spiraling off into space
The Earth's orbit is warped, bringing it closer to the sun than it was before
