Question

The Sun and Earth each have a gravitational pull on each other. How would that gravitational force be affected if Earth were much farther from the Sun?

a
The gravitational force would increase
b
The gravitational force would decrease.
c
The gravitational force would cause higher tides.
d
The gravitational force would be unchanged.

Answer 1

High and low tides are caused by the moon. The moon's gravitational pull generates something called the tidal force. The tidal force causes Earth—and its water—to bulge out on the side closest to the moon and the side farthest from the moon. These bulges of water are high tides.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

B

It is pretty obvious that if the Sun and Earth are farther away from each other, the gravatational pull would decrease.
