One Significant Feature of the Lagrange Points Produced by the Sun

question 50

Multiple Choice

One significant feature of the Lagrange points produced by the Sun and Jupiter is that:

• A) they are regions of reduced gravitational force in the asteroid belt from which asteroids can escape, producing the gaps within the belt.
• B) gravitational forces combine to produce a minimum in the field, thereby trapping asteroids at these points.
• C) gravitational forces combine to enhance the overall force on particles passing through them, accelerating them out of the solar system.
• D) they are points of maximum gravitational force near Jupiter, where the major moons Io and Europa are held.
