To calculate the mass of the Sun based on the given information about Jupiter's orbit, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between gravitational force and centripetal force The gravitational force acting on Jupiter due to the Sun provides the necessary centripetal force for Jupiter's circular motion. We can express this relationship mathematically as: \[ F_{\text{centripetal}} = F_{\text{gravitational}} \] ...
