A model shows that the moon has grown to twice its size, yet it has remained in the same place. In one to two sentences, explain how this would impact the gravity between Earth and the moon.

If the moon has grown to twice its size but remained in the same place, the gravity between Earth and the moon would increase since gravity is directly proportional to mass. This means that the gravitational force exerted by the moon on Earth and vice versa would also increase.
