What general conclusion did Isaac Newton’s observation of gravity have on the way we understand the universe?

A) The laws of physics use gravity to help illustrate and model a form of higher mathematics called calculus, in part discovered by Newton.
B) The law of gravity is one of several natural forces that explains and governs the motion of the planets and stars.
C) Gravity was the missing link that was needed to link astronomy, physics, and mathematics.
D) The law of gravity is the force that explains why the sun is at the center of the solar system.

Answer: B) The law of gravity is one of several natural forces that explains and governs the motion of the planets and stars.

Explanation: Newton's law of gravity is a law that is not applicable only to the earth, but a law that is valid for the movement of celestial bodies (planets, stars, satellites, etc.), so it is a law applicable to the universe. According to this law, all celestial bodies move along certain paths, thanks to gravity in combination with the force of inertia. Thus, the position of all celestial bodies, for example in the solar system in terms of planets and natural satellites, is determined by their mass, size, etc., and their paths are determined by length and shape and where the planets never leave, precisely because of gravity and inertia .
