Why doesn't the suns gravitational force affect you more than earths gravitational force does?

Answer 1

The force of gravity between two objects depends on the product of their two masses AND
the square of the distance between their centers.

Although the sun's mass is about 332 thousand times the earth's mass, you're almost 12 thousand times
farther from the sun's center than you are from the earth's center.

While the product of your mass and the sun's mass is 332 thousand times larger than the product of your mass
and the earth's mass, the square of your distance from the earth is 135 million times smaller than the square of
your distance from the sun.

So the distance factor is controlling, and the force attracting you to the earth is about 400 times larger than
the force attracting you to the sun.

If you weigh 200 pounds on earth, then the force attracting you to the sun is a little less than 8 ounces.

Answer 2

The gravitational force between two objects depends on their masses and the distance between them. Although the sun is much more massive than Earth, the distance between you and the sun is significantly greater than the distance between you and Earth. This means that the gravitational force exerted by the sun on you is weaker than the gravitational force exerted by Earth.

Answer 3

Because the sun is 93 million miles away, whereas the earth is, well, right here!

Answer 4

Because even though the sun has a lot more mass than the Earth has, the sun's

center is about 23,000 times farther away from me than the Earth's center is.
