The sun is not the only gravitational force but it is the strongest, the earth has a gravitational force, the moon has a gravitational force etc.

Any two objects have a gravitational force between them that is proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Why do the planets circle the sun?

Planets orbit the Sun due to the gravitational pull between them. This gravitational force keeps the planets in their elliptical paths around the Sun. It is a balance between the planets' inertia wanting to move forward and the Sun's gravitational force pulling them inward.


Does the gravitational force vary with the distance between earth and sun?

The gravitational force between the Earth and sun certainly depends on the distance between the Earth and sun. But the gravitational force between, for example, the Earth and me does not.


Is the gravitational force of the sun is greater than that of Earth?

Yes, the gravitational force exerted by the Sun is much greater than that of the Earth. The Sun's mass is significantly larger than the Earth's, resulting in a stronger gravitational pull. This gravitational force is what keeps the planets in orbit around the Sun.


What is the effect on the tides when the gravitational force of the sun is added to that of the moon?

The sun's gravitational force basically pushes the water towards high tide.


Why do all the planets orbit?

Planets orbit around the Sun because of the Sun's gravitational force, it makes the planets move by its gravitational force.


What is gravitational force which causes the planet to orbit the sun?

It is the gravitational force of the sun. The sun is the biggest body in the solar system. So in turn if you know gravity, the smaller body always rotates around bigger body. But this can only happen on a planetary scale.


True or false The Moon orbits Earth and not the Sun because the Sun doesn't exert a gravitational force on the Moon?

False. The Moon orbits around Earth due to Earth's gravitational pull, but the Sun also exerts a gravitational force on the Moon. The combined gravitational forces of Earth and the Sun control the Moon's orbit.


What is the gravitational force of the planet pulling on the sun causes?

The gravitational force from a planet on the sun is so small. For example, 1,000,000 Earths can fit in the sun. The mass of the sun is 333,000 times bigger than the Earth. It is the same way you on Earth. You have a gravitational force on the Earth but it is so small.


The gravitational force of the planet pulling on the sun is?

It is EXACTLY the same as the force of the sun pulling on the planet.


What the gravitational pull of the sun?

That explanation is logical however the sun DOES have a gravitational force because all the planets orbit around the sun.


Which force is responsibel for revolving the planet around the sun?

gravitational force


What makes the earth go round the Sun?

Sun's Gravitational force.
