Full Page Question : Gravity
A) What creates gravity?
B) Your answer for part A also does one other thing. Tell me what.
C) Your answers from part A and part B have the ability to balance each other. If Earth and Jupiter were in the exact same orbit, they would orbit the sun at the same speed. First, using part A, explain why we might think Jupiter should naturally orbit the sun faster than Earth if they were in the same orbit.
D) Because part C doesn't happen indicates that something else is also going on. Using part B, explain why both planets would end up orbiting at the same speed if they were in the same orbit.
E) Explain how distance affects gravity by explaining where we could put a satellite between Earth and the moon and have the gravity of both worlds equally strong so that the satellite doesn't go towards either one of them.
