    Acceleration of Gravity Sun-Moon System

    G = 6.67260E-11 m^3 / (kg sec^2)

    m1 = mass of Sun = 1.989E+30 kg

    m2 = mass of Moon = 7.3476E+22 kg

    r = distance between Sun and Moon = distance between Sun and Earth - distance between Earth and Moon = 149,600,000 km - 384,400 km

    g = 0.00596 m/s^2
