Question

12. a) What is the gravitational attraction of the sun

on the earth? (b) of the earth on the sun?

Answer 1

About 3.54x1022 N.

Explanation: The gravitational force between the Sun and the Earth is about 3.54x1022 N. This force keeps the Earth orbiting around the Sun. The gravitational force from the other planets does slightly affect the Earth's orbit, but the gravitational pull from the other planets and the Moon is still very small. Sorry if I get this wrong.
