Yes, there is a gravitational pull that works both ways. Just as the moon is held in orbit by the gravitational pull of the Earth, likewise the gravitational pull of the moon has its effect on the Earth, most commonly seen in its effects on the tides of the ocean. No doubt the gravitational pull of the Sun also effects ocean tides and other unseen effects.

How does gravity effect earths motion?

All of the earth's motion is completely determined by gravity: the gravitational pull on the earth by the sun (and the larger outer planets), the gravitational pull of the Milky Way galaxy on the sun, the gravitational pull of our local cluster on the Milky Way galaxy and so on, up the ladder.


How much stronger is the sun's gravity than the earths?

What percent of earths gravity does sun have?

The Sun's gravity is about 28 times stronger than Earth's gravity at the surface of the Earth. However, because the Sun is much farther away than Earth's own radius, its gravitational influence on Earth is significantly weaker compared to Earth's own gravitational pull.
