The force of gravity is determined by

Distance from the Sun
The mass of the object
The temperature of the object
The rotation of the Earth

The correct answer is: The mass of the object

Gravity is an attractive force between two objects with mass and is known to be directly proportional to the mass of the objects. The greater the mass of an object, the stronger its gravitational pull. While distance from the Sun, temperature of the object, and the rotation of the Earth may have an impact on certain aspects of gravity, they are not the determining factors for the force of gravity. Therefore, the correct answer is B The mass of the object.
