I'm trying to find the potential energy of a planet using formula G M(sun) x m(planet) / r. I have given G - newton's graviational constant at 6.67 × 10−11 m3 kg−1 s−2 , MSun is the mass of the Sun: 1.

Answer:


-5.39*10^(33) J

Step-by-step explanation:

Potential energy =


-(GMm)/(r)\\=-(6.67*10^(-11)*1.99*10^(30)*5.97*10^(24))/(147/1*10^(9))\\=-5.39*10^(33) J
