What is the ratio of the sun's gravitational force on you to the earth's gravitational force on you?
Added by Robert D.
Step 1
The gravitational force between two objects is given by the formula F = G * (m1*m2) / r^2, where G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects, and r is the distance between the centers of the two objects. Show more…
