Even though the sun is about 1.3 million times the size of earth, the mass is only about 28 times greater. This is largely because the sun is comprised of gas (hydrogen and helium mostly). The sun actually has a gravitational force of about 28 times that of earth.

The suns huge gravitational force keeps the planets in an orbit around it. Mass is related to gravity, the more mass the bigger the gravity. The suns mass is huge compared with the planets, so the sun has a large and influential gravitational field.

The gravitational pull of the sun at the 'surface' is 27.94g - around 28 times that of earths.

Its mass is 500000 times that of earth so earth is 2 times denser so the gravity is approximately 120 times that of the earth. It has more gravity than all planets combined
