Because the sun has more mass than anything else in our solar system. Gravity is a function of mass.
Gravity is the force which keeps them there.
gravity
easy gravity :)
Gravity!
The sun's magnetic field is so powerful, it is able to keep all of the 8 planets orbiting around it (Pluto is not a planet!). ---------------------- Wrong. (Except about Pluto). Gravity. Objects are attracted to other objects by gravity. The sun is so large compared to everything else in our solar system, it has the most gravitational influence. As the earth orbits the sun, centrifugal force wants to spin the planet into deep space, and the gravity of the sun keeps that from happening. The result is an orbit. well duh, that is basically what i meant...
They are both objects in the Solar system.
Planets and stars
Gravity causes objects, like planets, to orbit the Sun.
The Sun's Gravity
When compared to the surface gravity of Earth, Neptune has approximately 14% more gravitational pull. This is a small difference when compared to other planets in the solar system.
No. Of the planets in this solar system, Jupiter, by far, has the strongest gravity.
They are all in orbit.
