It's called gravity, it attract the sun toward the gravitational pull making everything circulate. I don't really know how to explain it though.
Using the formula F = m*a. where F is the force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration you can use it for each. As long as there are no other forces towards the body in both cases :
F = m*a
F = 50*3
F = 150 N
Harnessing the sun's energy to produce heat or electricity is : A. Non - Polluting
This energy generating method will cause no dangerous emission for environment (unlike the one that came from fossil fuel), but the energy that produced from the sun tend to be more expensive so it's still not widely used
hope this helps
