Since the Sun has the most mass of all the objects in the solar system, it has the strongest gravitational pull.
If there were another object in the solar system with more mass than the Sun, the planets (and the Sun itself) would orbit it.
If there were no Sun's gravity (or other gravitational forces) the planets would travel in straight lines instead of orbits.

of the planets. The planets would move in straight lines without the Sun's gravity (ignoring all other gravitational forces).
