Procedure 2.1 Select the Sun - Earth system. 2.2 From the simulation, paste a copy of the orbit of the Earth around the Sun with Gravity On and with Gravity Off. Gravity On Gravity Off 2.3 Based on your observation, what would happen to our solar system and the Universe if we did not have gravity? Answer: 2.4 Using the Sun - Earth system, observe the effect of gravity on the orbit of the Earth. a. Set the mass of the Sun = 1.0. Start the simulation in "Normal" motion and let the Earth complete about 1/4 revolution. b. With the simulation running, change the mass of the Sun to 0.5. What happens to the orbit of the Earth around the Sun?
