Question

which description explains how inertia changes the effects of gravity on objects in the solar system?
keeps the sun stationary
pulls asteroids toward earth
causes shooting stars to stop moving
prevents planets from pulling into one another

Explanation:

Inertia is the tendency of an object to maintain its state of motion. In the solar system, gravity pulls celestial bodies toward each other, but inertia keeps them moving in a straight path. The balance between these two forces keeps planets in orbit, preventing them from being pulled into each other or the Sun. The other options are incorrect: the Sun is not stationary, pulling asteroids is gravity alone, and shooting stars stop moving due to atmospheric friction, not inertia.

Answer:

prevents planets from pulling into one another
