If Earth were to be moved to a distance of 10 au from the Sun, how much stronger or weaker would be the Sun's gravitational force on Earth?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The strength of gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between two objects. Therefore, if Earth is moved to a distance of 10 au from the Sun, the distance between them becomes ten times greater than before. This means that the gravitational force would be 100 times weaker than it is now.
