Question

A model shows that the moon has grown to twice its size, yet it has remained in the same place. In one to two sentences, explain how this would impact the gravity between Earth and the moon.(2 points) this is the science solar system unit test for connexus. I need all the answers sorry if im asking for too much, but if I dont get the answers I will fail science!

Answer 1

Answer:

If the moon has grown to twice its size, the gravitational force of the Earth on the Moon would be twice as much

Explanation:

The force of gravity between two objects is doubled if the mass of one of the objects is doubled.

If the moon has grown to twice its size, the gravitational force of the Earth on the Moon would be twice as much, since the gravitational force is proportional to the masses of both the Earth and the Moon.
