Question

Two stars, Star 1 and Star 2, are at almost equal distances from Earth. The table below shows the masses of the two stars.

Name of Star Mass of Star (in million solar masses)
Star 1 3.61
Star 2 11.73
Which of these statements is most likely correct about the stars? (2 points)

Earth exerts a greater gravitation force on Star 2 than on Star 1.
Earth exerts a greater gravitation force on Star 1 than on Star 2.
Star 1 attracts Star 2 with a greater gravitational force than Star 2 attracts Star 1.
Star 2 attracts Star 1 with a greater gravitational force than Star 1 attracts Star 2.

P.S. I didn't know what to put for the subject.

Answer 1

Earth exerts a greater gravitation force on Star 2 than on Star 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Earth exerts a greater gravitational force on Star 2 than on Star 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The two stars as 1 and 2 are located at an equidistant to the earth.

• As the distance of one is about 3.61 km and the second is about 11.73 km (in million).

• The earth will exaggerate a much greater force of gravitational force on the star 2 as to stat 1, as its mass is greater than star one.
