Gravity is important not only for life on Earth, but for the makeup of the entire galaxy. Gravity holds our solar system and galaxy together and is responsible for orbital motions within them. The diagram shows the order of planets' orbits based on distance from the Sun, while the chart provides numerical distances from the Sun. Compare the diagram and chart and think about each planet's orbital pattern and distance from the Sun. Based on the information given, what conclusion can be drawn about diagram?
