The earth is 1.5x10^11 m from the sun. The earths mass is 5.98x10^24 kg while the mass of the sun is 1.99x10^30 kg. What is the earths acceleration towards the sun?
First find the force. f = Gm1m2/r^2 where G = 6.674×10^−11 N⋅m^2/kg^2
Then find acceleration. f = ma and a = f/m
This is simple arithmetic.
