<h2>a)Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Sun is 274.21 m/s²</h2><h2>b) Factor of increase in weight is 27.95</h2>
Explanation:
a) Acceleration due to gravity
Here we need to find acceleration due to gravity of Sun,
G = 6.67259 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg²
Mass of sun, M = 1.989 × 10³⁰ kg
Radius of sun, r = 6.957 x 10⁸ m
Substituting,
Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Sun = 274.21 m/s²
b) Acceleration due to gravity in earth = 9.81 m/s²
Ratio of gravity = 274.21/9.81 = 27.95
Weight = mg
Factor of increase in weight = 27.95
