A)The force of gravity from Earth acting on the spacecraft increased because the mass of the spacecraft decreased.

B)The force of gravity from Earth pulled on the spacecraft the same amount because it stayed in the Solar System.

C)The force of gravity from Earth acting on the spacecraft decreased because the distance from Earth increased.

D)The force of gravity from Earth stopped pulling on the spacecraft because there is no gravity in outer space.
