The Moon is about 400,000 km from the Earth. Using Newton's Law of Gravity how would the attraction between the Earth and Moon change if the distance from the Earth was halved to 200,000 km? 4 time weaker since it is two times closer 2 times stronger because it is twice as close 4 times stronger because it is twice as close 8 times stronger because of the inverse of 0.5 over 400,000 km

i had the same answer and put c. deflect randomly in multiple directions.   i looked it up on google and what i found was this;

scattering of light: by small particles and molecules in the atmosphere. different from reflection, where radiation is deflected in one direction, some particles and molecules found in the atmosphere have the ability to scatter solar radiation in all directions.

i know it's kinda annoying when you are just given a google article but this is why i think it is c.   i will try to let you know if i got it right.
