150 * 10^6 km = 150 * 10^6 * 10^3 meters/km = 1.50 * 10^11 meters
6.67 *10^-11 (2*10^30)(5.97*10^24) / (2.25*10^22)
= [6.67*2*5.97/2.25] * 10^(-11+30+24 -22)
= 35.4 * 10^21 = 3.54 * 10^22 agree
what is the average gravitational force of attraction between the earth and the sun? the earth averages a distance of about 150 million km(aka 1.5x10^8 km). the earth has a mass of 5.97x10^24 kg, and the sun has a mass of about 2x10^30 kg.
Correct me if I'm wrong
F=GmM/r^2
F= 6.67x10^-11(2×10^30)(5.97×10^24)/(150000000000)^2
F= 3.54x10^22 N
