Earth also moves in circular orbit around sun once every year with an orbital radius of 1.5×1011 m. What is the acceleration of earth (or any object on the surface of the earth) towards the centre of the sun? How does this acceleration compare with g=9·8 m s-2

Earth can be thought of as a sphere of radius 6400 km. Any object (or a person) is performing circular motion around the axis of the earth due to earth's rotation (period 1 day). What is the acceleration of object on the surface of earth (at equator) towards its centre? What is it at latitude θ ? How does these accelerations compare with g=9.8 m s-2?
