What force caused clouds of gas and dust to

form into stars and planets?

DOUBLE UP!

SC.8.E.5.4

• What force caused clouds of gas and dust to from

into stars and planets? GRAVITY

• DOUBLE UP True/False: Astronauts in space are

“weightless”, so there’s NO gravity in space.

• FALSE!!! Although it weakens as distance

increases, gravity exists between ALL objects. • More mass/shorter distance=greater gravity.

• Less mass/longer distance=weaker gravity.

• Astronauts feel “weightless” because they’re in free-fall.

unknown (We know we don’t know a LOT more than

we do know ;-)
