What else can I help you with?
If Neptune's mass were reduced what could be done to maintain the same force of gravitational attraction between Neptune and the Sun?
Decrease the distance between Neptune and the sun
Is there a stronger gravitation attraction between the Sun and Neptune?
No, the strength of gravitation attraction between two celestial bodies depends on their masses and the distance between them. The Sun has a much larger mass than Neptune, so it exerts a stronger gravitational force on the planet. However, the distance between the Sun and Neptune is much greater than the distance between the Sun and Earth, so the gravitational force between the Sun and Neptune is weaker than the force between the Sun and Earth.
Is there a tidal lock between the sun and the earth?
No. A "tidal lock" causes the orbiting body to point the same face to the primary body all the time. The Moon is tidally locked to the Earth, for example, and we always see the same side of the Moon. Only 21 human beings have ever looked at the far side of the Moon.
What are the kilometers between the sun and Neptune?
The average distance between the Earth and Neptune is about 4.5 billion kilometers. This is the average distance because the distance between these planets changes due to their orbits about the sun. While the minimum distance between them is 4.31 billion kilometers, the maximum is about 4.69 billion kilometers.
Is the Sun nearer to the Earth than Neptune?
The sun is much closer to earth than Neptune is. Neptune is way out there. The sun is 1 A.U. away or 92 milllion miles Neptune is between 29 - 31 A.U away

How many planets are there between the sun and Neptune?
There are 7 planets inside Neptune's orbit around the sun.

Why should the moon rotation have only a tidal lock to the earth but not a tidal lock component to the sun?
(the whole Earth-and-Moon "thing" = mass entity system still rotates together around the sun, so there should be enough gravity to make a tidal lock component towards the sun plausible -- if the tidal lock explanation is true, at all -- and to cause a significant deviation from a "full synchronisation" towards Earth, therefore) do you have an answer? There is a tidal lock component coming from the gravitational attraction between the Earth and Sun, but it is much less than that of the Earth and Moon. The tidal generating force has an equation of: mass/distance^3 - mass divided by distance cubed. The mass of the sun is about 27 million times larger than the moon, and it is 390 times further away than the moon. Therefore, 27 million over 390 cubed gives you 0.46. This means that the suns tide generating force is less than half that of the moon. When the sun has an effect upon the tides in certain areas of the earth, the area will have a semi-diurnal mixed tide.

How far. is neptune?
About 30 AU from the Sun. Since Earth is 1 AU from the Sun, Neptune can be between 29-31 AU from the Earth.
How many plantes are between the sun and Neptune?
there is 7 because Neptune is the eighth planet.
What is the planet Uranus between?
Uranus is the seventh planet from the sun in our solar system, located between Saturn and Neptune.
How would the force of gravity between Neptune and the sun be affected if Neptune were closer to the sun?
Yes. The force of gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between any two masses.
What is n Neptune's distance from earth in astronomical units?
The distance between neptune and the sun is 15.0935 astronomical units (AU).
