An object that weighs 100 pounds on earth would weigh about 2,790 pounds
on the sun before it melted and vaporized. In that same instant, the sun would
be pulled toward the object by a force of about 2,790 pounds, also on account
of gravity.

How does sun get gravity power?
Every speck of mass in the universe has 'gravity power'. The strength of the sun's gravity and the strength of the gravity of the lint in your shirt pocket can be calculated with exactly the same simple formula.
Why do planets have less gravity than the sun?
No planet has anywhere near the mass that the sun does, and the strength of gravity in an object is proportional to its mass.
Is the farther a planet is from the sun have less gravity it has?
No. The strength of gravity on a planet depends on its size and mass.
Were does Superman get his strength?
Superman gets his strength from the Earth's sun, his Kryptonian skin cells act as solar panels and charge up strength from the sun, during the night he uses his stored energy within these cells.
Is there a relationship between the distance a planet is from the sun and its surface gravity?
No. The strength of surface gravity on a planet depends on its size and mass.
Is gravity the same in all places of your solar system?
No. The strength of the sun's gravity, the main gravitational body of the solar system, decreases with distance from the sun. Each planet, moon, asteroid, and comet also has gravity, which becomes noticeable when you get close to them.
How come moons orbit Jupiter even though sun have greater gravitational pull?
If you compare surface gravity, yes the sun's gravity is stronger than that of Jupiter. But gravity decreases in strength as you get farther from the object. Jupiter's moons are close enough to Jupiter and far enough from the sun that Jupiter's gravity has more influence.
How does mass affect the gravity on a planet or the sun?
The greater the mass the stronger the gravitational pull. You probably mean the "surface gravity". This is also affected by the distance of the surface from the center of the planet or Sun. The strength of the gravity falls in proportion to the distance squared, in accordance with Newton's Law of Gravity.
How long will the gravity on earth stay at it's current strength?
as long as sun doesn't changes its gravitational force
Is the sun's gravity stronger than the earth?
Yes, the sun has much more mass than the earth so the sun warps spacetime much more than the earth warps spacetime. The amount that spacetime is warped by an object is proportional to the strength of that object's gravity.
Is the sun's gravity stronger than the earth's?
Yes, the sun has much more mass than the earth so the sun warps spacetime much more than the earth warps spacetime. The amount that spacetime is warped by an object is proportional to the strength of that object's gravity.
How does the sun's gravity compare to earths gravity?
The sun gravity is stronger
