How would the absence of gravity affect the formation of planets?

a. the rocks and debris would take longer to accrete into a planet.
b. the rocks and debris would never accrete into a planet.
c. the rocks and debris would accrete into a smaller orbiting body.
d. the rocks and debris would be pushed closer to the sun.

Without gravity, all rocks and debris would lose masses and never accrete into a planet.

Option B

Explanation:

According to the well-known physicist James Overduin, the Earth would be nothing but a flat surface in the absence of gravity. Gravity provides weight to objects with which they attract towards the source i.e. the Earth and that's why it forms the circular shape.

If the universe and Earth would not have gravity, it would not curve and since gravity is considered as the curvature of space and time. There would be no matter and energy that cause it to curve.

jupiter

explanation:

it is so massive and has such a strong gravitational pull its likely prevented the formation of a planet between itself and mars in the asteroid belt

the independent variable, the one that is intentionally manipulated, is whether or not the car hits the barrier.

the dependent variable, the one that you measure the response in, is the distance that the washers travel.
