Jupiter is the largest planet in our Solar System: it has as much mass as about 300 Earths! Venus is slightly smaller than Earth and has about the same mass. How does Jupiter's gravity compare to Venus?
a) Venus is closer to the Sun, so Venus has more gravity than Jupiter
b) Venus is more compact than Jupiter, so Venus has more gravity
c) Jupiter is more massive than Venus, so Jupiter has more gravity
d) Jupiter is farther from the Sun than Venus, so Jupiter has more gravity

c) There is a greater gravitational pull on Jupiter than on Earth
d) There is no gravitational pull on the moon

As an object travels far away from Earth, her weight _____________.
a) decreases because gravity decreases
b) decreases because mass decreases
c) increases because gravity increases
d) remains the same because her mass remains the same
