Question

calculate the force of attraction between sun and moon​

Answer 1

Answer:

The attractive force of gravity is proportional to the mass of the two

objects in question and to the square of distance.

Mass of the sun: about 2 x 10^30 kg

Sun-moon distance: about 150,000,000 km

The sun's gravitational pull on the moon is proportional to 2 x 10^30

/ (1.5 x 10^8)^2 = about 8.8 x 10^13
