Answer:

Because the effect is not big enough to be noticeable.

Explanation:

The light is bent by gravitational fields, but the bend is not that big unless we are talking about objects with a massive amount of mass. To be noticed the bent, you need to stay far away from the object that causes the blend and the object also needs to be far away from the source of the light. For example, you can observe the blend in the light of a far-away star when the light travels close to the sun to reach earth, and the deflection will be around 1.75 arc-seconds. The deflection occurs also with light beams on the earth but the effect is too small to be taken into consideration.

Which statements describe processes involved in the accretion of planetesimals and protoplanets? Check all that apply.
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

The correct options are;

Both involve the formation of solid particles from nebular materials

Both involve the work of gravitational push on nebular materials

Explanation:

Planetesimals are thought to be the product of grains of cosmic dusts that are found in the debris and protoplanetary discs, such that hundreds of planet forming embrayos are considered to be the result of the collisions of planetesimals that collide with each other to form larger embrayos

Protoplanets is a large planetary body with a stratified interior due to internal melting that has taken place. They originate in the protoplanetary discs from the collision of planetesimals that are up to a kilometer in size.
