1) WRONG. Since gravitational force is an attractive force.
2) WRONG. The Earth does accelerate but the acceleration is so small that it's negligible. However it DOES ACCELERATE.
3) CORRECT.
4) WRONG. Mass means gravitational field, so Nina might be small compared to the Earth but it still creates a gravitational field around her. This answer is also wrong because it's breaking Newton's third law of action-reaction. If Earth pulls Nina, then Nina pulls the Earth back with the same force. Yes, with the SAME FORCE, however F=m*a, so the great difference in mass makes Nina's acceleration much bigger than the Earth's one.

Bingel [31]

Answer:

Oort Cloud

Explanation:

Hundreds of millions of comet nuclei forming a spherical region that surrounds the solar system is called Oort cloud.

The Oort cloud revolves at tens of thousands of the distance of the earth from the sun.

Comets are the condensed water and dust particles that orbit around the sun with inward helix leaving behind a tail of vapours and vaporize completely as they get closer to the sun during their revolution around it.

They have a nebulous appearance and extremely elongated orbits.

podryga [215]

Answer:

It can be a solid, liquid, gas,plasma,etc. When waves travel through a medium, the particles of the medium are not carried along with the wave.For example, water waves have to travel in water. Sound waves need a solid, a liquid or a gas to travel in.
