The gravitational attraction of the Sun (or more correctly, the mutual attraction between the Sun and the Earth) causes the Earth and other planets to orbit - this is the obvious indicator of the Suns gravity on Earth. Although the gravitational attraction between bodies decreases with distance, the gravity from the sun technically 'reaches' everywhere in the universe, as gravity never diminishes to the point of vanishing completely.

Does the Earth and other planets move around the Sun?

The existence of large objects like planets or stars curve space and time. As the Earth goes around the sun it is in fact falling into the sun. The problem is that the sun and other planets are also moving. Gravity from the sun's previous location takes time to reach the Earth and planets such that the gravity from another location reaches the targets first. As the Earth and other planets reach a location where it might be moving in; the sun moves again, and other planets impart their gravity as well. The gravity of the sun becomes diluted throughout the heliosheath because of this weakening the effect of gravity even further.


Does the sun have more or less gravity than earth?

I think the planet earth has more gravity


Why is the sun the object that gives earth gravity?

it doesn't the Earth's mass is what gives Earth gravity not the Sun


Why do you think the sun's gravity does not pull the earth into the sun?

The pull of the Sun's gravity is needed to hold the Earth in orbit.


How does the sun create Earth's gravity?

It does not. Earth's gravity is the result of Earth's mass.


What is the largest force that keeps the earth circling the sun?

The largest force that keeps the Earth circling the sun is gravity. Gravity is the force of attraction between the Earth and the sun that keeps the Earth in its orbit.


Would Earth have gravity without the sun?

Yes, Earth would still have gravity without the sun. Gravity is a fundamental force that exists between all objects with mass, so Earth's gravity is due to its own mass, not just the presence of the sun. The sun's gravity does impact Earth's orbit and tides, but Earth would still have its own gravitational field even without the sun.


Is Gravity on the sun is much lighter than it is on Earth?

Our Sun's gravity is much higher than the Earth's.


How does the gravity of the sun impact on earth?

The sun's gravity keeps the earth and the other planets in orbit around it


Why does Earth orbit the sun?

Earth orbits the sun due to the force of gravity. Gravity is the attraction between two objects with mass, and the sun's gravity pulls Earth towards it, causing Earth to move in a circular path around the sun.


Does the earth have less gravity than the sun and moon?

Earth has weaker gravity than the sun bu stronger gravity than the moon.


Do the earth and the moon orbit the sun since the moon orbits the earth and the earth the sun?

Yes, while the Earth orbits the Sun, the Moon carries on orbiting the Earth, as it is not as affected by the distant gravity of the Sun as it is by the nearer gravity of Earth.
