What is the role that gravity played in the formation of planets stars and solar systems and in determining their motions?

There is no doubt that planets, stars, and solar systems could not ever have formed without gravity. All of these astronomical objects condensed out of clouds of interstellar gas and dust, under the influence of gravity. It is also true that planets orbit stars only because of the gravitational attraction of those stars.
