Question

The distance between the sun and the earth is 1.5 * 10^11. Use this information to calculate the mass of the sun.

I understand you're supposed to set the force of gravity equal to your centripetal force but why can't I use g=G(M/r^2) and solve for M, plugging in 9.81 as g, 6.67*10^-11 as G, and 1.5 * 10^11 as r?
