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.

What fundamental force is responsible for tidal?
Gravitational force between Earth - Moon - Sun is the fundamental force behind the tidal motion.
Why do earth and the moon remain in their orbits?
(simplified) Gravitational force of attraction is balanced by centripital force due to earths velocity. (G*m1*m2) / r2 = m2 * (v2 / r) m1 = sun mass m2 = earth mass r = earth - sun distance v = earths orbital velocity G = newtons gravitational constant
Can you create gravitational force?
Gravitational force is the attraction between two masses. It can be explained by Force=(Mass1*Mass2)/Distance. Everything is attracted to the earth because the earth has such a large mass. So on a small scale it is just about impossible to create gravitational force.
What force keeps satellite in orbit around the Earth?
There is only one main force acting on a satellite when it is in orbit, and that is the gravitational force.
What fundamental force is responsible solar eclipse?
The occurence of a Solar Elcipse is caused by the relative orbits of the Earth and the Moon around Sun and the Earth respectively. Those orbits are caused by the Gravitational Forces of the Sun, Earth, and Moon. So I would have to say that Gravity is the Fundamental Force responsible for a solar eclipse.
Why do the planets circle the sun?
gravitational force
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.
Why the gravitational force is absent in space?
Gravitational force is not absent in space. In fact, gravitational force is what keeps the universe together. The planets orbit the sun based on gravitational force.
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.
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 sun does exert a gravitational force on the moon.
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.
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
Do the moon and sun both have similar gravitational force?
No. The Sun has a smaller gravitational pull because its farther away.
