The diagram models how gravity works in our solar system. The sizes of the spheres are directly

proportional to their masses. The sizes of the arrows are directly proportional to force.
In what way does this diagram accurately model gravity in our solar system?
Ο Α.
by demonstrating that the force of gravity is a constant
by demonstrating that the sun controls the way that gravity affects interactions among
other bodies in the solar system
ОВ.
OOI
by demonstrating that gravity requires three or more bodies interacting with forces of
different magnitudes
by demonstrating that the strength of the force of gravity is dependent on the masses of
objects and the distance between them

Answer:

by demonstrating that the strength of the force of gravity is dependent on the masses of objects and the distance between them

Step-by-step explanation:

The model correctly proves gravity by demonstrating that the strength of the force of gravity is dependent on the masses of objects and the distance between them.

To model gravity, we need the mass of the objects and the distance between them.

According to Newton's law of universal gravitation "the force of gravity between two bodies is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them" .
