1.33 explain that gravitational force:  causes moons to orbit planets  causes the planets to orbit the sun  causes artificial satellites to orbit the Earth  causes comets to orbit the sun

If an object is within the field of another objects gravitational force then it will travel around it in a path known as an orbit. In this way:

moons to orbit planets
the planets to orbit the sun
artificial satellites to orbit the Earth
comets to orbit the sun

    because of gravitational field strength.

    the greater the object, the stronger the gravitational field. The moon is lighter than other planets, so it got pulled by the heavier ones.
