Answer:
trigonometry (guessing)
Explanation:
ellipse: is the shape of an orbit : looks like an oval
periapsis : shortest distance between something like the moon and the planet its orbiting around like the earth
parallax is triangulation. like how gps works. looking at a star one day and then looking at it again 6 months later, an astronomer can see a difference in the viewing angle for the star. With trigonometry, the different angles yield a distance. This technique works for stars within about 400 light years of earth

By comparing the intrinsic brightness to the star's apparent brightness we can calculate the distance of stars
1/r^2 rule states that the apparent brightness of a light source is proportional to the square of its distance.Jan 11, 2022

alternative distance measurement for stars used by most astronomers is the parsec. A star with a parallax angle of 1 arcsecond has a distance of 1 parsec, or 1 parsec per arcsecond of parallax, which is about 3.26 light years

Because mass and distance determine gravity, so the more mass you have, the more gravity.
That's false.
The definition of momentum is (mass) x (speed), so they must be multiplied.
"20,000 kg-m/s" has the correct units resulting from multiplication, but the number could only be the result of division.
