Question

which statement best explains why objects are pulled toward earth’s center? earth has a magnetic force that is strongest at its core. earth has a much greater mass than objects on its surface. the weight of the atmosphere pushes objects toward earths surface. the strength of the suns gravity pushes down on objects at earths surface.

Explanation:

Gravitational pull between two objects depends on their masses; the more massive an object, the stronger its gravitational pull. Earth's far greater mass compared to surface objects creates a gravitational force that pulls those objects toward its center. Magnetic force, atmospheric weight, and Sun's gravity do not explain this core-directed pull.

Answer:

Earth has a much greater mass than objects on its surface.
