Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The weight of an object is determined by the gravitational force acting upon it. The gravitational force is dependent on the mass of the objects attracting each other and the distance between them. Since the distance between the sun and the earth would not change, and the mass of the earth would remain the same, the weight of a person on Earth would not change if the mass of the sun were to double. Therefore, the correct choice is C, not change.
