Which celestial body would have the strongest gravitational pull on a satellite orbiting 100 km above its surface?

8090 [49]

According to the Law of Universal Gravitation, the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass, and inversely proportional to the distance. In this problem, let's assume the celestial bodies to be restricted to the planets and the Sun. Since the distance is specified, the other factor would be the mass. Among all the celestial bodies, the Sun is the most massive. So, the Sun would cause the strongest gravitational pull to the satellite.
