Dwayne Ferguson · Answer 1

D. Earth has more mass than the Moon.

Explanation:

The force of gravity is directly related to the mass of objects. The more mass an object has, the greater its gravitational force.

This explains why the earth has greater gravitational pull than the moon. Our planet is much bigger than the moon, this causes the moon to be attracted to the earth with a strong intensity. This is because the earth has much more mass than the moon, which allows the earth to have a greater gravitational force, and can attract the moon closer to itself. The same is true of us. The earth has more mass than humans and that is why we are attracted to its surface.

London Gill · Answer 2

Gravitational force is directly proportional to the masses of the object. So "D" is answer
