Question

If Earth were replaced by an object with the same mass but much smaller in size, would the moon continue to orbit the new object, fall into it, or fly off into space? Why?

Answer 1

i am pretty sure but not 100% that it would still continue to orbit

Answer 2

It depends on, Depending on how much gravity the other object has depended if the moon will still orbit. Since Earth has a specific amount of gravity, the other object has to have the same number of EVERYTHING for it to work out.
