No planet has anywhere near the mass that the sun does, and the strength of gravity in an object is proportional to its mass.

Why do planets have less gravity then the Sun?

Planets have less mass than the sun, hence, they have weaker gravitational fields.


Is it true that the closer the planets are to the sun then the less gravity the planets have?

No. The surface gravity of a planet depends on its size and mass, not its distance from the sun.


Do planets far away from the sun have less gravity Yes or no?

No.


What will happen to the planets if the sun did not have gravity?

The planets will get too hot than melt/explode.


Does the earth have less gravity than the sun and moon?

Earth has weaker gravity than the sun bu stronger gravity than the moon.


How does the sun's gravity affect the planets?

Yes. The sun is attracted by the gravity of the planets just as the planets are attracted by the sun. Since the sun is more massive it does not move as much, bu the gravity of the orbiting planets does cause it to "wobble."


How much gravity has the sun got?

The gravity of the sun is massive. A 100 lb person would weigh over 2100 lbs on the sun!


Why don't planets attract each other?

because gravity and inertia are kinda of playing a game of tug a war but both sides are equal so they do not move


What pulls the planets to the sun?

The sun's gravity pulls the planets.


Where does the gravity that holds the planets in their orbits come from?

The gravity that keeps the planets in orbit is the sun's gravity, which is a product of the sun's mass.


The earths gravity keeps the planets circling the sun?

Actually, it's the gravity of the sun that keeps the planets in orbit around it. The force of gravity between the sun and the planets causes them to be pulled towards the sun, while their momentum keeps them moving in a circular or elliptical path.


Why would planets fly off into space with no Sun?

Yes, with no Sun, there would be no large force of gravity to hold the solar system together. Each of the planets would carry on in a straight line (more or less) rather than in an ellipse around the Sun.
