Physics · Gravitation
There have been theoretical suggestions that the value of the gravitational constant G becomes smaller when considered over a very large time period (in billions of years) in the future. If that happens, for our earth:
- 1after a sufficiently long time, it will leave the solar system.✓
- 2it will continue to go around in strictly closed periodic orbits.
- 3the orbital radius will decrease, making the earth hotter.
- 4nothing will change in its orbit.
Correct answer
after a sufficiently long time, it will leave the solar system.
