b.the sun and the planets.
c.Earth and the sun.

e.Earth and the moon.

Answer 1

a.All of the listed answers are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's law of universal gravitation states two bodies attract each other with a force directly proportional to the square of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates them, and is directed along the line that joins the bodies. This force is known as the force of gravity or gravitational force and is expressed as:

`F=G*(m_1 *m_2)/(r^2)`

Where:

`m_1\hspace{3}and\hspace{3}m_2= Masses\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}objects\\G= Gravitational\hspace{3}constant\\r=Distance\hspace{3}between\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}objects`

Therefore, the gravitational interaction between two bodies always manifests as a pair of equal forces in direction and magnitude but in the opposite direction.
