Calculate the force of gravitation between the earth and the sun, given the mass of earth = 6xx 10^24 kg and of the sun = 2 xx10^30 kg . Average distance between the two is 1.5xx 10^10m .

Earth's orbit is an ellipse with eccentricity 0.0167. Thus, earth's distance from the sun and speed as it moves around the sun varies form day to day. This mean s that the length of the solar day is not constant through the year. Assume that earth's spin axis is normal to its orbital plane and find out the length of the shortest and the longesst day. A day should be taken from noon to noon. Does this explain variation of length of the day during the year?
