The Two Stable Lagrange Points in the Jupiter-Sun Planetary System

question 110

Multiple Choice

The two stable Lagrange points in the Jupiter-Sun planetary system are

• A) positions in space at Jupiter's orbital distance from the Sun where the combined gravitational forces from the Sun and Jupiter produce an equilibrium point at which asteroids can become trapped.
• B) points at high latitudes on Jupiter where auroras (called Lagrange auroras on Jupiter) occur most frequently.
• C) areas in the asteroid belt where gravitational interaction of Jupiter with asteroids disturbs their orbits and causes a Kirkwood gap.
• D) an area between the Sun and Jupiter where the gravitational forces on an object from these massive bodies are equal and opposite.
