What is the gravitational force of attraction between sun and moon? ​

Answer»

ANSWER:

Explanation:

Solution :-

We know,

F = GM₁m₂/r²

Let us take m₁ = 6 × 10²⁴ kg

m₂ = 2 × 10³⁰ kg

r = 1.5 × 10¹¹ m

Substituting the VALUE, we get

F = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ × 6 × 10²⁴ × 2 × 10³⁰/(1.5 × 10¹¹)²

= 3.6 × 10²² N

Thus, the gravitational force of attraction between the earth and the SUN is very large.

Additional Information :-

MASS of the earth = 6 × 10²⁴ kg

Mass of the sun = 2 × 10³⁰ kg

Distance between the sun and the earth = 1.5 × 10¹¹ m

G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm² kg⁻²
