Calculate the force of gravitation between the Earth and the Sun,given that the mass of the Earth $= 6 \times 10^{24} \, kg$ and of the Sun $= 2 \times 10^{30} \, kg$. The average distance between the two is $1.5 \times 10^{11} \, m$.

  • A
    $4.25 \times 10^{22} \, N$
  • B
    $3.25 \times 10^{22} \, N$
  • C
