An iceberg weighing 1,000 tons is floating in the North Atlantic. Consider the gravitational forces on the iceberg due to the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun. Put these gravitational forces in order of increasing magnitude.
   You do not need to do any calculations. Use reasoning, or simply guess.


  1.Earth < Moon < Sun
  2.Earth < Sun < Moon
  3.Moon < Sun < Earth
  4.Moon < Earth < Sun
  5.Sun < Moon < Earth
  6.Sun < Earth < Moon
