2. “Density” of Molecules • Gravitational attraction Directly proportional to mass of two objects (Earth and gas molecules)
2. “Density” of Molecules • Gravitation attraction Directly proportional to mass of two objects (Earth and gas molecules) Inversely proportional to distance between the two objects (Earth’s “pull” declines with distance from Earth)
