Answer:

B is the answer because if you throw a phone in space it will hit the ground way slower than if you threw it on earth.

earth pulls the phone back down faster because the earth's gravity is stronger!

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer can't be A because you have less gravity in space.

C is incorrect because earth's gravity forces us down, but in space you can float

D is incorrect for the same reason as A
