Weight on the Sun Formula
The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Weight on the Sun.
SW = EW × (gₛᵤₙ / gₑₐᵣₜₕ) ≈ EW × 27.9
Variables:
- SW is the weight on the Sun (same unit as EW, e.g., lb)
- EW is the weight on Earth (same unit as SW, e.g., lb)
- gₛᵤₙ is the Sun’s surface gravitational acceleration
- gₑₐᵣₜₕ is Earth’s surface gravitational acceleration
How to Calculate Weight on the Sun?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Weight on the Sun.
- First, determine the weight on Earth (lb).
- Next, gather the formula from above: SW = EW × (gₛᵤₙ / gₑₐᵣₜₕ) ≈ EW × 27.9.
- Finally, calculate the Weight on the Sun.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem :
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
Weight on Earth (lb) = 250
SW = EW × 27.9 = 250 × 27.9 ≈ 6,975 lb
