Saturn orbits the Sun at a radius of about 1.4×109 km. At this distance the force of gravity on Saturn due to the Sun is 3.7×1022 N. Assuming Saturn's orbit to be perfectly circular, how much work grav does the Sun's gravity do on Saturn in one year?

Explanation:Saturn is the second largest planet of the solar system in mass and size and the sixth nearest planet in distance to the Sun.
