The Earth has something like 10 to the power of 50 atoms in it. Newton didn't know that. We still don't care about it for purposes of flying a rocket to the moon or anything like that. We can reduce this description of many, many, many, many particles to a relatively small number of variables, the position and velocity of the center of mass of the various planets.
