Question 21
21.
Why do different planets have different weights for the same object?
Different planets have different atmospheres.
Different planets have different sizes.
Different planets rotate at different speeds.
Different planets have different gravitational pulls.
Question 22
22.
What is gravity primarily responsible for between objects?
Only occurs in space.

Gravity only affects planets.
Question 24
24.
How do the Earth and Sun interact gravitationally?
Only the Sun pulls on Earth.
They only interact through light.
Earth does not affect the Sun.
Both exert forces pulling on each other.
Question 25
25.
What force do planets experience while orbiting the Sun?
A magnetic push from the Sun.
A gravitational pull towards the Sun.
No force; they move freely.

Question 26
26.
What role does mass play in gravitational attraction?
Less mass attracts better.
Gravity is only about distance.
More mass means more gravitational force.
