|
|
Objects in orbit are in motion, and are not affected by gravity.

Objects with a large mass pull with more force than objects with a small mass.

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Objects with greater mass have a stronger force of gravity between them. For example, because Earth is so massive, it attracts you and your desk more strongly that you and your desk attract each other.
Detailed explanation-2: -Because the Sun is the largest, most massive object in our solar system, it also has the strongest gravitational force in our solar system. It pulls every one of the planets (and everything else) toward its center of mass.
Detailed explanation-3: -From largest to smallest they are: Universe, galaxy, solar system, star, planet, moon and asteroid.
