How Gravity Influences Mass & Distance Standard 8-4.6 Explain how gravitational forces are influenced by mass & distance. Gravity’s Influence on Mass & Distance EQ: 8-4.6 How does mass & distance affect gravity between all celestial bodies in the universe? Gravity & Mass • Celestial bodies: • Natural objects located in the solar system (planets, moons, etc.) • How is gravity influenced • A more massive object has a greater pull on less by the mass of objects? massive objects. • Which means… • the Sun has the greatest pull on objects like planets in the solar system because it’s the most massive object. Gravity & Distance • How is gravity • The closer the distance influenced by the between objects the distance of objects? greater the pull of gravity. • Which means… • the Moon has a greater effect on Earth’s tides than the Sun because it’s closer. • 4. A more massive object has a __________ pull on less massive objects. • 5. The closer the distance between objects the __________the pull of gravity.
