The two forces of gravity are equal
Explanation:
We can answer this question by applying Newton's third law of motion, which states that:
"When an object A exerts a force (called action) on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (called reaction) on object A"
In this problem, we can identify the Sun as object A and the Earth as object B. This means that the force of gravity exerted by the Sun on the Earth is the action, while the force of gravity exerted by the Earth on the Sun is the reaction: according to Newton's third law, these two forces are equal and opposite.
Therefore, the two forces of gravity are equal in magnitude, which is given by:
where
G is the gravitational constant
M is the mass of the Sun
m is the mass of the Earth
r is the separation between the Earth and the Sun

When light travels from a medium with higher refractive index into a medium with lower refractive index, there is a maximum angle (called critical angle) for which all the light is reflected, so there is no refraction.
The value of the critical angle is given by:
when n1 is the refractive index of the first medium, while n2 is the refractive index of the second medium. In our case, n1=1.33 (the water) and n1=1.00 (the air). Putting numbers in, we get
