If the two other objects are far apart then its not easy to tell. However if they are far apart, in the best case at opposite ends, then its easier to tell. If the sun were to be shrunk to the size of the moon, and then the sun, earth and moon were placed at equal distances from each other, then the sun would definitely pull the earth towards itself far more than the earth would pull the sun! | |
