It is because the gravity off the stars is smaller with us because they are much further. You can tell if you look at the universal gravitational equation.

F = GMm/R2

where

  • F is the force of attraction between two objects in newtons (N)
  • G is the universal gravitational constant in N-m2/kg2
  • M and m are the masses of the two objects in kilograms (kg)
  • R is the distance in meters (m) between the objects, as measured from their centers of mass

Do stars orbit around the sun?

No. The sun is a star like any other; it holds no special place in the galaxy. The stars, including the sun, orbit the center of the galaxy. There are also stars in other galaxies.


Can planets and stars orbit around the sun?

Planets orbit the sun. Stars do not.


What stars orbit the sun?

No stars orbit the Sun. The Sun is a star itself, and it is at the center of our solar system, with planets such as Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars orbiting around it.


What is the movements around the sun called?

Orbit. The same goes for planets & other stars too.


Do stars orbit the sun?

No, stars do not orbit the Sun. Stars are distant celestial bodies that have their own gravitational pull and are typically found in galaxies like the Milky Way. The Sun is just one star in the Milky Way galaxy, and it has its own set of planets and other objects orbiting around it.


Do the stars orbit the planets or do planets orbit stars?

Moons orbit planets. Planets orbit stars. Some stars orbit other stars, or orbit their mutual center of gravity. Stars orbit the center of the galaxy. Galaxies may orbit the center of the "galactic group".


Do stars revolve around the sun?

No, stars do not revolve around the Sun. The Sun is just one of the billions of stars in our galaxy, the Milky Way, and stars have their own independent motion through the galaxy. The Sun's gravity keeps the planets in orbit around it, but it does not control the motion of other stars.


What do all the planets orbit around?

All the planets in OUR solar system orbit around the sun(which is a star). Planets in other solar systems orbit around other stars.


Do planets obit the sun?

Eight planets orbit our sun. More than a thousand planets far beyond our solar system are known to orbit other stars.


What stars do Jupiter orbit around?

The sun.


What do comets orbit other then the sun?

The comets in our Solar System orbit our Sun. Presumably, a comet could be trapped by a planet, so that it orbits that planet; and presumably, there are also comets around other stars.


How large is the sun compared to other SUNS?

The Sun is the name we give to the star that we orbit. About half the other stars are larger than the Sun, and about half are smaller. The Sun is average size.
