∙ 14y agoThe gravitational acceleration of the sun on the earth is gs=GMs/r^2 = 2/3E-10x2E30/(150E9)^2 = 5.925E-3 m/s^2.
The gravitational force is F= mgs=37E21 Newtons.

∙ 12y agothe earths axis is caused by the sun and the center of the milky way that's why

Is mercury the fastest moving planet around the sun but the slowest rotating around its axis?
Mercury is the fastest moving planet around the sun. It is second slowest to rotate about its axis, Venus being the slowest.
Why is the sun called the apparent path?
When we view the rising and setting of the sun, we assume the viewpoint of a motionless Earth, but we know that the Earth is actually rotating on its axis, and the sun does not orbit the Earth.
Why is the earth always tilted while it revolves around the sun?
An object, once rotating, tends to maintain the direction of its rotational axis in space.
How does Earth rotating on its axis help keep the planter at proper temperatures for life?
If only 1 side of earth faces the Sun, then that part will stay
Why do some people feel it is inaccurate to say that the Sun rises and sets?
Because the Sun isn't moving around the Earth. The Earth is rotating on its axis.The apparent movement of the Sun across they sky is due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis. This is also true of the apparent motion of the moon and stars.
What is happening to the Earth at the moment?
It is rotating on its axis and orbiting the sun.
How can you use sunspots to tell that the sun is rotating on its axis?
they move across the sun's surface :)
How does light arrive on earth?
Earth is rotating on its axis and the sun shines on it
Does sun have a twin?
No the sun does not have a twin. It rotates on its own axis.No, the sun does not have a twin. It is on its own, rotating in its own axis.
The earth spins on its axis and what else?
In addition to rotating on its axis (spinning), our earth also revolves around the sun (orbits).
How can earth be rotating and revolving at the same time?
Earth itself is rotating on a axis and it's revolving around the sun at the same time.
Do Mars and Mercury go around the Earth?
No, Mars and Mercury go around (orbit) the sun. The two planets appear to orbit Earth, but it's a result of the Earth rotating on its axis.
How does the earth spin and rotate?
no the earth spins on it's axis while rotating around the sun
Where is the sun when it is night?
The sun stays in the same place, because we are rotating on an axis the sun appears to move. When its night time where you are the sun is shining on a different part of the earth.
When the sun appears to be setting in the west what is actually happening?
This apparent movement of the Sun is the result, or reflection, of Earth's rotation around its axis.
Why does it look like the sun is moving across the sky from sunup to sundown?
It is because the earth is rotating on its axis
Is the earth turning on it's axis and rotating around the sun at the same time?
Yes, at the same time.
