• If all the electrons in the earth could be removed and attached to the sun (leaving all the protons on the earth), what would be the resulting electrostatic force of the sun on the earth, and what acceleration would it produce? Compare this force with the corresponding gravitational force. (Make reasonable estimates. The mass of the earth is about 6 × 1024 kg, and that of the sun is 2 × 1030 kg. The distance from earth to sun is 1.5 × 1011 m.)
