Question

The moon orbits our Earth. The opposite would never be true the Earth would never orbit the Moon. One reason is due to the force of gravity the object ____ has a greater gravitational force and that determines what satellites orbit around it

A) with the greater mass
B) containing mostly water
C) with a thicker atmosphere
D) with the greater diameter

I chose A. Sorry I meant to say Mass not force.

Answer 1

You are correct. A) With the greater mass, it will have a greater gravitational force, which determines what satellites orbit around it. Therefore, Earth, being more massive than the moon, orbits around the sun and the moon orbits around the Earth.

Answer 2
