Answer:

B and D

Step-by-step explanation:

A is wrong because objects with mass have gravity and the Earth and Sun both have mass. As we know, the Earth orbits around the Sun and the reason si because gravity.

B is corrects because throughout the whole universe there are objects like planets and meteors and more. All these objects have gravity because they have mass.

C Gravity pulls things together that is why we are on Earth and not pushed away into space.
D is correct, using Sun and a meteor. When a meteor comes within the gravity range of the sun, the sun pulls the meteor toward it. Without anything around the sun, nothing happens because there is nothing to pull.
