Four students researched Mercury and Venus, planets in our solar system. They organized their findings and developed a model to show the orbits of these planets, as shown below
The students learned a satellite passes between Mercury and Venus. Each student constructed a claim about the gravitational attraction on the satellite when the planets are closest
- Student W claims that the probe is pulled harder by the planet with the greater mass halfway between the planets.
- Student X claims that the probe is pulled harder by the planet nearest the Sun, halfway between the planets.
- Student Y claims that the probe is pulled harder by the planet with the greater mass anywhere between the planets.
- Student Z claims that the probe is pulled harder by the planet nearest the Sun, anywhere between the planets.
Which claim is best supported by evidence from the table and model?
