Force = 8.995 newtons per kilogram of mass.

That's 9.172 pounds for every 10 pounds of Earth-weight.

Does the gravitational force vary with the distance between earth and sun?

The gravitational force between the Earth and sun certainly depends on the distance between the Earth and sun. But the gravitational force between, for example, the Earth and me does not.


Why do the planets circle the sun?

Planets orbit the Sun due to the gravitational pull between them. This gravitational force keeps the planets in their elliptical paths around the Sun. It is a balance between the planets' inertia wanting to move forward and the Sun's gravitational force pulling them inward.


Why is the gravitational force between Venus and the sun greater then that between the earth and the sun?

The gravitational force between two objects is determined by their masses and the distance between them. Venus is closer to the sun than Earth, so the gravitational force between Venus and the sun is greater. Additionally, Venus has a similar mass to Earth, so the gravitational force between Venus and the sun is further influenced by the mass of Venus.


Earth orbits the sun as a result of a centripetal force that is caused by?

The mutual force of gravitational attraction between the Earth and Sun.


Why does the sun exert more gravitational force on mars than on earth does?

The gravitational force between two objects depends on their masses and distance. Although the sun exerts the same gravitational force on both Earth and Mars due to their masses, this force is stronger on Mars because it is closer to the sun compared to Earth's distance. This makes the gravitational force between the sun and Mars greater than that between the sun and Earth.


How can the sun have a large gravitational affect on earth but a small gravitational force on you?

The gravitational force between two objects is proportional to the product of their masses. (sun's mass) times (earth's mass) is a very large number. (sun's mass) times (my mass) is a much smaller number.


Why is the sun the only gravitational force?

The sun is not the only gravitational force but it is the strongest, the earth has a gravitational force, the moon has a gravitational force etc. Any two objects have a gravitational force between them that is proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.


How does Neptune move?

clockwise around the sun


What is the gravitational force between the sun and mercury?

The gravitational force between the Sun and Mercury is determined by Newton's law of universal gravitation, which states that the force is proportional to the product of the masses of the objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The force varies depending on the distance between the Sun and Mercury, as well as their masses.


Definition of gravitational force and examples?

Gravitational force is the attractive force that exists between any two objects with mass. It is responsible for keeping planets in orbit around the Sun and objects on Earth's surface. Examples include the gravitational force between the Earth and an apple causing it to fall to the ground, and the gravitational force between the Sun and Earth keeping them in orbit.


What keeps the planets and other objects in the solar system in orbit around the sun?

The gravitational force between the sun and the planets keeps them in orbit. This force acts as a centripetal force that continually pulls the planets towards the sun, keeping them in a stable orbit. The balance between the planet's velocity and the gravitational force determines the shape and size of their orbits.


The strongest gravitational force occurs between earth and?

the Sun.
