प्रश्न
The mass of moon is about 0.012 times that of earth and its diameter is about 0.25 times that of earth. The value of G on the moon will be:
पर्याय
less than that on the earth
more than that on the earth
same as that on the earth
about one-sixth of that on the earth
उत्तर
Same as that of the earth
G is universal gravitational constant. So, it remains constant everywhere.

Solve the following problem.
Find the gravitational force between the Sun and the Earth.
Given Mass of the Sun = 1.99 × 1030 kg
