Which celestial body would have the strongest gravitational pull on a satellite orbiting 100 km above its surface? Explain your answer.

Answer:

The Sun would have the strongest gravitational pull. According to Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, the force of gravity is directly proportional to the mass of the objects. Since the Sun has a much greater mass than any planet or moon in our solar system, it exerts the strongest gravitational force at a consistent distance of 100 km from its surface.
