B. The gravitational pull of Earth and the satellite are the same because all objects in space have
the same gravity
C. The gravitational pull of the satellite is stronger than the gravitational pull of the Earth
because smaller objects in space have greater gravity
D. The gravitational pull of Earth is stronger than the gravitational pull of the satellite because
