Given two objects, the object with the smaller mass will be pulled to the object with the _________ mass.
What is greater?
300
This planet has the most gravitational force in our solar system.
What is Jupiter?
300
This is a claim, evidence or reasoning.
The objects with smaller mass (Moon) are held in orbit around objects with larger mass (Earth).
What is evidence?
300

Many planets in our solar system (Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) have rings. If these rings are made of chunks of debris, they form around the planet and not travel toward the Sun for this reason.
What is the rings are much closer to the planets than to the Sun? There will be a greater gravitational pull toward the planets than to the Sun.
400
This planet has the least amount of gravitational pull in our solar system.
What is Mercury?
400
This is claim, evidence, or reasoning.
The orbiting of smaller mass objects around larger mass objects indicates that the gravitational force is attractive because the smaller objects are pulled toward the larger ones. This is Newton's Universal Law of Gravity
What is reasoning?
