Can I get some help?
The gravitational force of the Sun is powerful enough to hold Earth in orbit even though Earth is an average of 150 million kilometers away. Which statement best describes why objects with much less mass than Earth are not pulled off the surface of Earth toward the Sun? Objects on Earth are held by the gravity of the Moon. Objects on Earth have too little mass on which to pull. Objects on earth are most influenced by Earth's gravity. Objects on Earth are orbiting the Sun too quickly.

C. Objects on Earth are most influenced by Earth's gravity.
he gravitational force between two objects depends on their masses and the distance between them. The greater the mass of an object, the greater its gravitational force. Therefore, the gravitational force between the Sun and Earth is much greater than the gravitational force between Earth and objects with much less mass

Uranus is one of the outer planets of the solar system. The average distance of Uranus from the Sun is 2.87 billion kilometers. Which best explains why Uranus revolves in its orbit instead of moving out into space? Other planets have the same mass as Uranus Electromagnetic energy pulls on Uranus The orbit of Neptune limits Uranus Gravity pulls Uranus towards the Sun
How about this one?
the gravitational force between the Sun and Uranus is strong enough to keep Uranus in its orbit, even though it is an average of 2.87 billion kilometers away from the Sun
