Question

choose all things that are directly affected by gravity.
without gravity, our universe would not exist. all things have gravitational pulls, but the larger the object, the larger the pull. this explains why planets and other celestial bodies are greatly affected by gravity. think about ways our planet and solar system is affected by gravity.
how does gravity affect earth and other objects found in the solar system? (choose 3)
a moons orbits around planets
b planets order (from sun)
c annual amounts of snow on earth
d pushing and pulling of tides on earth
e colors of living things

Explanation:

• Option A: The gravitational pull between planets and their moons keeps moons in stable orbits around planets.
• Option B: The Sun's gravitational pull determines the orbital order and positions of planets relative to it, with more massive (or closer, due to gravitational force) planets maintaining their ordered positions.
• Option D: Tides on Earth are caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun, which creates the pushing and pulling of ocean waters.

Options C and E are not directly affected by gravity: snow amounts depend on climate/weather, and organism colors are due to biological/evolutionary factors.

Answer:

A. Moons' orbits around planets
B. Planets' order (from Sun)
D. Pushing and pulling of tides on Earth
