प्रश्न
As observed from earth, the sun appears to move in an approximate circular orbit. For the motion of another planet like mercury as observed from earth, this would ______.
पर्याय
be similarly true.
not be true because the force between earth and mercury is not inverse square law.
not be true because the major gravitational force on mercury is due to sun.
not be true because mercury is influenced by forces other than gravitational forces.

उत्तर
As observed from earth, the sun appears to move in an approximate circular orbit. For the motion of another planet like mercury as observed from earth, this would not be true because the major gravitational force on mercury is due to sun.
Explanation:
As observed from the earth, the sun appears to move in an approximately circular orbit. The gravitational force of attraction between the earth and the sun always follows the inverse square law. All planets move around the sun due to the huge gravitational force of the sun acting on them. The gravitational force on the mercury due to the earth is much smaller as compared to that acting on it due to the sun and hence it revolves around the sun and not around the earth.
