#F_(Gravity) = 33.6653 * 10^23 (Nm^2)/(kg^2)#

Explanation:

We know:

#F_(Gravity) = G (Mm)/R^2#

Now, we have the value of #G#. Consider #M# as mass of Sun. #R# the distance between Saturn and Sun and #m# mass of Saturn

So:

#G = 6.673 * 10^-11 (Nm^2)/(kg^2) #
#M = 1.989 * 10^30 kg#
#m = 5.683 * 10^26 kg#
#R = 1.433 * 10^11 m#

#F_(Gravity) = 6.673 * 10^-11 [(1.989 * 10^30 kg ) * (5.683 * 10^26 kg)]/ (1.433 * 10^11)^2#

# = 6.673 * 10^-11 (11.3035 * 10^56) / (2.0535 * 10^22)#

# = 6.673 * (11.3035 * 10^23) / 2.0535#

# = 6.673 * 5.045 * 10^23#

#F_(Gravity) = 33.6653 * 10^23 (Nm^2)/(kg^2)#

This is the force of gravity between Saturn and Sun.
