where ape is the acceleration of a point P on the surface 

where ape is the acceleration of a point P on the surface of Earth 11.7. We may write aps = apE + as, with respect to the center of Earth and a is the acceleration of Earth with respect to the Sun, both accelerations being due to their rotations (see Fig. P11.7). Show that the acceleration as of the point P with respect to the Sun in small as compared to g. E P Figure P11.7
