KATRIN_1 [288]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

There is no short answer.

Explanation:

In theory, the gravitational pull between the planets depends on their total mass and the distance between them. The sun has a mass of 1.989x10^{30} kg, Jupiter has a mass of 1.898x10^{27} kg and Earth has a mass of 5.972x10^{24} kg.

Earth is closer to Jupiter than it is to the sun. The other planets that are behind jupiter are gone so that means the sun's pulling force's effect on jupiter is increased drastically since there is no force the balance that and that means that jupiter is going to get closer to earth.

The new center of mass of the new solar system is roughly located between earth and the sun, closer to earth.

I hope this answer helps.

How do you calculate gravity’s pull?
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

The gravitational force between a mass and the Earth is the object's weight. Mass is considered a measure of an object's inertia, and its weight is the force exerted on the object in a gravitational field. On the surface of the Earth, the two forces are related by the acceleration due to gravity: Fg = mg.
