The following diagrams are supposed to represent the solar system, with the
Sun in the center and two planets orbiting it. The left diagram is a diagram
without dark matter, while the right diagram shows the solar system
embedded in a huge cloud of dark matter that is much much bigger than the solar
system.
A ) The force of gravity on star C is greater than the force of gravity on star D because it is closer to
the Sun, and dark matter has no effect.
B) The force of gravity on
star D is greater than the force of gravity on star C because more dark matter
is pulling on it.
C) The force of gravity
on star D is greater than the force of gravity on star C because more dark
matter is pulling on it.
D) The force of gravity
is the same on stars C and D because it's the same Sun pulling on both of them.
