The force of gravity between two objects can be calculated using Newton's law of universal gravitation:
F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2
where:
F = force of gravity
G = gravitational constant (6.674 x 10^-11 N*m^2/kg^2)
m1 = mass of the first object (mass of the sun = 1.989 x 10^30 kg)
m2 = mass of the second object (mass of the earth = 5.972 x 10^24 kg)
r = distance between the centers of the two objects (average distance between the sun and the earth = 1.496 x 10^11 m)
Plugging in the values:
F = (6.674 x 10^-11) * ((1.989 x 10^30) * (5.972 x 10^24)) / (1.496 x 10^11)^2
F ≈ 3.54 x 10^22 N
Therefore, the force of gravity between the earth and the sun is approximately 3.54 x 10^22 Newtons.
