Question

Given two objects in space, the object with the ____ mass will orbit the object with the ____ mass.

A. Smaller, Larger
B. Weaker, stronger
C. Attractive, repulsive
D. Push, pull

Answer 1

A. Smaller, Larger

Step-by-step explanation:

Every object that has mass obeys the Law of Universal Gravitation. Everything attracts everything else. The same gravity that keeps us down on the ground keeps planets in orbit. However, in space, the smaller object will feel the pull of the larger one much more strongly, which is why it will begin to orbit it
