If the moon were twice as far from years as it is now the following would be true

The question is incomplete.

The distance between the Moon and Earth influences: 1) the attractive gravitational force between them, 2) the tides, 3) the eclipses, 4) the period of each full turn of the moon around the Earth.

Assuming the question refers to the gravitational attraction, we must use the fact that, as per, Newton's Universal Gravitaional Law, the attractive force between the two bodies is inversely related to the square distance that separates them.

Then, if the Moon were twice as far, the gravitational pull would be one fourth (1/4) of actual pull.

a_sh-v [17]

Gravitational force is given as

$F = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}$

so here gravitational force will be given by above formula where the force between two objects depends on the mass of two objects and distance between them.

Now here since the tool is at finite distance from Astronaut and Moon, Sun, Earth

So all the above will exert gravitational force on the tool but the magnitude of force will be different as all of the above are of different masses and situated at different distance.

So all options are correct here

The Astronaut

The Moon

The Sun

The Earth
