Look at the diagram of the moon and three different paths that it could take. A planet with a moon in orbit. The moon has arrows labeled 1 through 3. 1: Curves up and away from the planet. 2: Moves straight forward. 3: Curves down to follow planet's orbit. Which description applies best to pathway 2? the path of the moon toward the Sun the path of the moon’s orbit around Earth the path the moon would take if it had a larger mass than the Sun the path the moon would take if there was no force of Earth’s gravity

The description applies best to pathway 2 is the path the moon would take if there was no force of Earth’s gravity. The correct option is first.

What is gravity?

The force of attraction felt by a person at the center of a planet or Earth is called as the gravity.

Given the diagram of the moon and three different paths that it could take planet with moon in orbit. The moon has arrows labeled 1 through 3. Earth has a gravitational acceleration, g = 9.81 m/s².

1: Curves up and away from the planet.

2: Moves straight ahead.

3: Curves down to follow the planet's orbit.

The description best applies to path 2, which is the path the Moon would take if there were no Earth's gravitational pull. The moon and Earth both orbits in an elliptical shape.

Therefore, the correct option is first.
