During a solar eclipse the moon is positioned directly


Solve the following problem given below:

Problem: During a solar eclipse the Moon is positioned directly between Earth and the Sun. Find the magnitude of the net gravitational force acting on the Moon then, due to both Earth and the Sun. The masses of the Sun, Earth, and the Moon are 1.99 × 1030 kg, 5.98 × 1024 kg, and 7.36 × 1022 kg, respectively. The Moon\'s mean distance from Earth is 3.84 × 108 m, and Earth\'s mean distance from the Sun is 1.50 × 1011 m. The gravitational constant is G = 6.67 × 10-11 Nm2/kg2.

Part A: What is the direction of this force?

Please provide any help is greatly appreciated!
