Consider the Sun, Moon, and Earth in a configuration shown below. We set the Earth to be at the origin and consider the celestial bodies as point particles. Given the distance from Earth to Sun to be about res = 1.50 × 10¹1 [m] and the distance from Earth to Moon to be about TEM = 3.85 × 108 [m]. Sun
