Part A
Find the position of the center of mass of the system of the sun ( 1.99 × 10 30 k g ) and Jupiter ( 1.90 × 10 27 k g ) . The orbit radius of Jupiter is 7.78 × 10 11 m . (Since Jupiter is more massive than the rest of the planets combined, this is essentially the position of the center of mass of the solar system.)
Express your answer in meters to three significant figures. Submit Request Answer Part B
Does the center of mass lie inside or outside the sun? The sun's radius is 6.96 × 10 8 m . inside outside
