By because if there wasn't any sun everything would be floating. There wouldn't be gravity in the solar system.

Does how fast earth spins effect gravity?

There is no effect to gravity due to earth fast spins because gravity is other thing and spin of earth is different thing. So we could not compare to each other. Gravity is made of mass of earth and spin of earth is due to sun, as earth revolving around the sun.


How does gravity effect earths rotation and revolution?

The Earth's rotation on its axis is not directly affected by gravity except that gravity holds Earth together as a sphere.Earth's revolution round the Sun is an "orbit" which obeys the laws of gravity.There is also a slight transfer of the rotational energy of the Sun to Earth's revolution speed. The Sun's spin is slowing and Earth is moving away form the Sun a little. {Note, this effect is far more pronounced between the Earth and the Moon].


What is the effects of the suns gravity on the planets?

The sun's gravity has a number of effects on the planets. Primarily, the sun's gravity is what sets the orbits of the 9 planets. With one revolution around the sun equaling a solar year (365.25 days on earth). Planets closer to the sun orbit the sun at higher speeds due the sun's gravity being stronger at short distances (Gravity decreases exponentially as distance increases from an object) The sun's gravity also has major tidal effects on the planets. High and low tides cycles on earth are partially a function of differences in the sun's gravity on different portions of the earth. The sun's gravity pulls slightly more on the side of the earth facing the sun, causing fluids to bulge toward that side resulting in a high tide cycle. On Mercury, where the sun's gravity is much stronger, tidal forces are powerful enough to alter solid rock and effect the planets landscape.


Does the suns gravity effect the oceans?

Yes! Just like the Moon, the Sun participates in the creation of tides. The Sun's role in tides is less than that of the Moon, though.

What effect does gravity have on Saturn?

Gravity from the sun causes Saturn to revolve around the sun while its gravity is the reason it has moons, rings and matter making it up.


What effect does gravity have on the sun earth and moon?

it keeps them in place


What effect is caused by the Moon's gravity?

Earth's tides are caused by the Moon's gravity (in combination with the Sun's).


How does the sun gravity effect earth and other planets?

It keeps them in orbit


How does the effect of the sun's gravity on Pluto compare with the effect of the sun's gravity on earth?

using f = (G*m1*m2) / d^2 for sun / earth = 3.524 * 10^24 newtons for sun / pluto = 4.958 * 10^16 newtons sun / earth is 710600 times that of sun / pluto

Value of gravity during solar eclipse?

A solar eclipse is just a shadow; it has no effect on anything other than the Sun's light. It's like a cloud blocking the light of the Sun. An eclipse has no effect at all on gravity, or magnetism, or electricity.


If gravity is working in both directions why does the Earth move but the Sun does not?

That isn't exactly how it works.* Gravity works in both directions. * The Earth is pulled towards the Sun, and the Sun is pulled towards Earth. * Since the Sun has about 333,000 times the mass of Earth, the effect on the Sun (acceleration) is 1/333,000 times as much as the effect on Earth.


What is the force of gravity on planets that are farther away from the sun?

Gravity falls off with the square of the distance, so twice as far = one quarter the effect.


How does the sun's gravity compare to earths gravity?

The sun gravity is stronger
