Detailed Solution

Nuclear fission reaction in the Sun is not described by Newton's universal law of gravitation

Every particle in the universe attracts every other particle with a force proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them, according to the universal law of gravity. Gravity was discovered by Sir Isaac Newton.

The universal law of gravity explains the following phenomena:

(1) This is the force that links us to the ground.

(2) The moon's rotation around the earth.

(3) Planetary orbits around the Sun.

(4) The moon and the Sun cause the tides.

(5) The motion of the sun around the planets is the right answer.
