Answer:

Scientists can ignore the gravitational force because the electrical force between protons and electrons in the atom is millions of times stronger than the gravitational force between the protons and electrons. The gravitational force is insignificant for masses as small as the proton and electron.

The short answer is that gravitational force is so small compared to other forces (such as the attractions/repulsion between charged particles) that gravity is negligible.

At its closest point, Mercury is approximately 46 million kilometers from the sun. What is this distance in AU?

alina1380 [7]

1 astronomical unit 1 AU = 1.4960 * 10^11 meters
it is the average distance between earth and sun
mercury to sun distance is = 46,000,000 * 1000 meters
= 4.6 * 10^9 meters = 4.6 * 10^9 / 1.4960 * 10^11 AU
= 3.0.74 / 100 = 0.0374 AU
