f_{gravity(sun)} =  \frac{ g \times m_{sun} m_{astronaut}  }{ {(distance \:  to \: sun)}^{2} }
f_{gravity(earth)} =  \frac{ g \times m_{earth} m_{astronaut}  }{ {(distance \:  to \: earth)}^{2} }

me
consider the mass of the earth and the mass of the sun. then consider the distance between the astronaut and the sun.

you will see that the force of the Earth's gravity is much greater due to the formula above as the very large distance from the sun

What happens to lava after it erupts from a volcano.
LuckyWell [14K]

When a volcano erupts, the molten rock (or magma) that comes out of the Earth is called lava. Because lava is so hot (more than 1,100 degrees C, over 2,000 degrees F), it remains molten and flows across the ground until it cools and hardens into rock.

hope this helps
