4) Discuss how our lives on Earth are directly related to our relationship and positioning with the Sun in our Solar System.
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:the relationship with the sun and the solar system is the same relationship to all physical bodies in which we are living at a speed governed by our perception at our vantage point in relation to how much gravity is acting upon us. Example: Say you were to fall into a black hole. At the point of no return at the event horizon your time would begin to slow down as seen from an outsider watching you fall. This will occur until to that observer sees you stop entirely in time. You however fall faster as faster but for ever. Till time is over. So all things are relative to each other in only one absolute way. Gravity control observed time.
