Question

1. spi 0807.12.5 (gravity - mass and distance). which of these affects the strength of the gravitational force between earth and the sun? a. the tilt of the axis of earth b. the distance between earth and the sun c. the amount of energy earth receives from the sun

Explanation:

The gravitational force between two objects is given by Newton's law of universal gravitation $F = G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}$, where $m_1$ and $m_2$ are the masses of the two objects and $r$ is the distance between their centers of mass. The strength of the gravitational force between Earth and the sun depends on their masses and the distance between them. The tilt of Earth's axis affects seasons and the amount of energy Earth receives from the sun affects temperature and climate - related aspects but not the gravitational force itself.

Answer:

B. the distance between Earth and the sun
