No celestial body controls the movement of the planets; gravity does. The sun serves as the center of Earth's solar system and provides the greatest gravitational force. This causes the other planets to revolve around the sun. Planets' distances from the sun affect their speed. For instance, Jupiter, which is about 5 times farther from the sun than the Earth is, takes far longer than a year to circle the sun not only because it is farther, but also because the distance weakens gravity and causes it to go slower because it is trying to move out of the Sun's pull.
