Explain the relationship between the presence of certain elements and types of matter in the solar system relative to distance from the sun. correct answers The suns gravity holds the solar system together, keeping everything from the smallest particles of debris to the biggest in orbit. The surface temperature of planets decrease as the distance from the sun increases. The farther an object is from the sun, the weaker the Sun's gravitational pull, and the slower the object moves in orbit. N...
