Answer:

Scientists can use the wobble to work the planet's mass and the distance from the star.

Explanation:

Detecting a star's wobble is one way to find out if there are planets orbiting it, this happens because the planet is “tugging” on it, the gravitational force from the star acts to keep the planet in orbit, and the gravitational force from the planet acts to move the star as the planet orbits. Scientists can use the wobble to work the planet's mass and the distance from the star.

Considering this information we can conclude that the correct answer is distance to the planet and mass of the planet.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

About 70% of Earth's freshwater is where?
Pepsi [2]
About 70% of the Earth's freshwater is found in the form of ice caps and glaciers -it is frozen. Out of this, the majority is actually in one place: covering the continent of Antarctica.

One could argue that there is more water in the oceans, but it's not fresh water- it's salty water, so it's not  good to drink.
