Mass of the earth, ME =6 imes 10^24kg

Mass of the Sun, MS =2 imes 10^30kg

Distance between the earth and the sun, d=1.5 imes 10^11m

Universal gravitational constant, G=6.67 imes 10^-11N kg^-2 m^2

The force of gravitation between the earth and the Sun would be given as

\F=GfracM_EM_Ed^2\ F=6.67 imes 10^-11 imes frac6 imes 10^24 imes 2 imes 10^30(1.5 imes 10^11)^2\ F=3.56 imes 10^22N
