The forces are calculated from Newton's theory.

F = G M1 M2 / R-squared.

IN the formula M1 and M2 are the masses of the Sun and the planet and R is the distance. G is the gravitational constant, and in SI unit it is 6.670E-11 so that if the masses are in kilograms and the distance in metres, the answer is in Newtons.
