Dear Student

Kindly find the answer of your asked query

Gravitational force of attarction between sun and earth is given by:F=GMsMer2r is the distance between sun and earth
when distance is increased to 3r, then force become F'F'=GMsMe9r2FF'=9F'F=19F-F'F=89% decrease in force = 89×100=88
88%

Hope this information will clear your doubt about
