Given that the Earth orbits the Sun with an orbital velocity of about 29.8 km/s and a radius of 1 AU, use the equation above to estimate the total mass in the solar system inside the orbit of the Earth. Is this similar to the mass of the Sun? Remember to convert units to S.I. units of meters, kilograms, and seconds before proceeding so that your answer is in kg.
