If Neptune’s mass were reduced, what could be done to maintain the same force of gravitational attraction between Neptune and the Sun?

Neptune and the Sun would need to move farther apart.

Explanation:

The equation for gravitational force is F = Gm1m2/d2 where G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses of the bodies in question, and d is the distance between the two.

Since the masses are proportional to the distance, if the mass of one body is reduced, the distance between them must also be reduced in order to keep the same gravitational force between them.

blue light is scattered in different directions by the tiny molecules of air. blue is scattered more than other colours because it has a shorter distance to travel which results in smaller waves. this is why we see a blue sky most of the time.
