Question

Suppose a star 10 times the size of the Sun approached the outer reaches of the solar system. What is the most likely scenario based on what you know about orbiting bodies?

Answer 1

I think it is the 1st one. Mark me as the brainliest

Answer 2

Option (B) is correct.

• The most likely scenario based on what we know about orbiting bodies is that the gravitational influence of the star would disrupt the orbits of the planets in the solar system, causing significant changes in their orbits and potentially leading to collisions or ejections of some planets or moons.
  
  
• The gravity of a massive object like a star can have a significant effect on the motion of other bodies in its vicinity. If a star 10 times the size of the Sun were to approach the outer reaches of the solar system, its gravity would begin to affect the orbits of the planets, moons, and other bodies in the solar system.
  
  

The gravitational pull of the star would cause the orbits of the planets to become more elliptical, which could lead to collisions between planets or moons or the ejection of some objects from the solar system altogether. The stability of the solar system would be severely disrupted, and the long-term consequences could be significant.
