QuestionAnswer
Universal Law of Gravitation No. 1All objects with mass are attracted to one another by the gravitational force.
Universal Law of Gravitation No. 2The gravitational force between two masses is directly proportional to the mass of each object.
Universal Law of Gravitation No. 3The gravitational force between two masses is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between those two objects.
Centripetal forceThe force necessary to make an object move in a circle. It is directed perpendicular to the velocity of the object, which means it points toward the centre of the circle.
Centripetal force No. 1Circular motion requires centripetal force.
Centripetal force No. 2The larger the centripetal force, the faster an object travels in a circle of a given size.
Centripetal force No. 3At a given speed, the larger the centripetal force, the smaller the circle.

Between which two Planets do you find the Asteroid Belt?Between Mars and Jupiter.
What is uncommon about Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.They are all outer planets, they all have similar compositions, they all have rings, and they all are quite cold!
PerturbationsAre small gravitational variations in the Planets motion.
MeteoroidsAre asteroids flung to earth. When they intersect earth's orbit they are called Meteoroids.
MeteorsWhen Meteoroids receive enormous amounts of friction, they become white hot, at this point they are called Meteors.
MeteoritesAre fragments of Meteors that fall to the earth.
