Which characteristic is shared by both dark matter and baryonic matter?(1 point)
Responses
They both have been directly observed by scientists.
They both interact with each other.
They both have gravity.
They both are capable of absorbing light.
They both have gravity.
The correct answer is "They both have gravity."
Explanation:
Dark matter and baryonic matter both have gravity as a shared characteristic. Gravity is the force that attracts objects towards each other and is responsible for holding galaxies and other celestial bodies together. Dark matter's existence and distribution can be inferred by its gravitational effects on visible matter, such as its influence on the rotational movement of galaxies. Baryonic matter, on the other hand, is the ordinary matter that we can directly observe and interact with, and it also has gravity as a fundamental property.
