If our solar system's Sun was half the mass as it is now, what would happen to the orbit of the Earth

Physics

Essentially, an increase in mass means an increase in gravity, while a decrease in mass means a decrease in gravity. So if the Sun spontaneously lost half its mass (gasp, shudder, the horror!) then its gravitational pull on Earth would lessen as well, ultimately changing the very nature of our orbit around the Sun.
Thank You!

Answer:

44.8 m/s

Explanation:

Use the Initial Speed Formula:

InS = 2(d/t) - Final Speed

InS = 2(55/1,25) - 43.2

InS = 2.44 - 43,2

InS = 88 - 43,2

InS = 44.8 m/s
