Answer:
he 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
