Every few hundred years most of the up on the same side of the Sun. Calculate the total force on the Earth due to Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn, assuming all four planets are in a line (Fig. 5-38). The masses are MV = 0.815 ME, 318ME, MS = 95.1 ME, and their mean distances from the Sun are 108, 150, 778, and 1430 million km, respectively. What fraction of the Sun€™s force on the Earth is this?
