Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fact that Earth pulls on the moon and the moon pulls on Earth indicates that these two pulls make up an action-reaction pair, as stated in Newton's Third Law of Motion. B, C, and D are incorrect as the size of the objects does not determine the strength of their gravitational pull, but rather their mass and distance from each other.
