Which of the following responses below is/are correct? 

Justify your answer(s)

The Earth-to- sun distance is about 1.5 x 10"
43;
m and the Earth takes roughly 365 and a
quarter days to orbit the sun. It is common
practice to approximate the orbit of the Earth
to be a circular one. Under these
circumstances,
The centripetal acceleration of the
earth round the sun is about 5.9 x 10-'
m s?.
It is easy to calculate the centripetal
acceleration of the Earth in its orbit
round the sun
The centripetal acceleration of the
earth round the sun is 9.81 m s².
