    If the probes are identical, then the one that feels a larger gravitational

    force is orbiting closer to Jupiter than the other one is.

    If they're not identical, then the one with greater mass will feel more

    gravitational force than the one with less mass, even if they're both

    the same distance from Jupiter. (We know this from the experimental

    observation that fatter people weigh more, even on Earth.)
