| Calculate the gravitational forces acting on the Moon from the Earth and from the Sun. Express your answer in newtons. Which of the forces of attraction is greater? How many times?
From the side of the Earth = 2 * 10 ^ 20 N; from the side of the Sun = 4 * 10 ^ 20 N; the force of attraction from the sun is about 2 times greater.
