What is free-fall acceleration toward the sun at the distance of the earth’s orbit? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

♦ Relevant knowledge
Free fall acceleration refers to the speed at which an object accelerates when it is in free-fall motion. Free fall acceleration can also be referred to as gravitational acceleration or it is the speed at which the gravity field accelerates.

A free-fall acceleration reveals the change in speed of an object that is moving in the field of gravity.

In various places on the Earth the objects drop at an acceleration of between 9.78 and 9.83 m/s2 based on level (and in part because the Earth isn’t an ideal sphere and matter isn’t perfectly). Internally unevenly distributed) and an approximate value of 9.80665 m/s2. Low density objects don’t experience similar acceleration to objects that weigh more because of buoyancy and air resistance.
