it doesn't the Earth's mass is what gives Earth gravity not the Sun

What is an example of gravity acting on a moving object?

The sun's gravity keeping the earth in orbit around the sun.


What is a advantage of a sun?

the sun gives us heat and holds the earth in place with its gravity


Is the sun's gravity stronger than the earth's?

Yes, the sun has much more mass than the earth so the sun warps spacetime much more than the earth warps spacetime. The amount that spacetime is warped by an object is proportional to the strength of that object's gravity.

What object will have the greatest force of gravity to the earth at it's surface?

moon and sun!


Weight of earth in scientific notation?

The concept of the weight of the earth makes no sense. The weight of an object on earth is the force of the earth's gravity acting on that object's mass. The earth's gravity does not exert a force on itself. The earth does not have a weight in the context of the sun because it is in free-fall in its orbit around the sun. The mass of the earth is 5.97*1024 kilograms.


How does mass affects gravity?

Gravity gives an object more mass. Because it pushes the body downward towads the earth. That means if an object is put on a weighing machine it gives more mass than the actual weight. Mass is the weight of the object with gravitational force. Weight of the object is without the gravitational force.


How can you say that the earth is a planet?

A planet - is defined as an object that has its own gravity, and is in orbit around a sun.


What is the force that full object near the earth?

I think you mean, "pull." And that force is gravity. You see, our solar system revolves around the sun, and the sun's gravitational pull keeps all the planets circling around the sun day and night. Every object has gravity to pull on other objects, which is why the moon rotates around Earth, because of Earth's gravity. Hope this helps!


Is it true that a abject that weighs 100 pounds on earth would weigh over a ton on the sun?

The mass of the sun is many times that of the earth, the result is that the acceleration of gravity is also much greater. Since the acceleration of gravity on the sun is higher, and the weight of an object is based on its mass and acceleration of gravity, the object would weigh considerably more


Does the sun have more or less gravity than earth?

I think the planet earth has more gravity


What is the strength of gravity on the Sun?

An object that weighs 100 pounds on earth would weigh about 2,790 pounds on the sun before it melted and vaporized. In that same instant, the sun would be pulled toward the object by a force of about 2,790 pounds, also on account of gravity.
