Compares the gravitational acceleration ...

Compares the gravitational acceleration of the eartrh due to attraction of the sun with that due to attraction of the moon. Given that mass of sun,`M_(s)=1.99xx10^(30)`kg, mass of moon,`M_(m)=7.35xx10^(22)`kg , distance of sun from earth ,`r_(es)=1.49xx10^(11)` m and the distance moon from earth`r_(em)=3.84xx10^(8)`m.
