The Sun and Earth exert equal but opposite forces on each other, obeying Newton's third law. However, if you're referring to another object being pulled by just the Sun or just the Earth, then it depends on the distance from them. If the distance in both situations are equal then the Sun pulls with a greater force due to having a larger mass.

Why the Earth doesn't fall in the Sun?

Gravity is caused by mass, so objects with more mass, such as planets and stars, exert a lot of gravity. The earth and everything on it are constantly falling towards the sun because of the sun's immense gravity. ... Because of this sideways momentum, the earth is continually falling towards the sun and missing it.


What is the exact gravity for the sun?

333,000 times more than the mass of the Earth


How is the earth cooler than the sun?

Well the sun is just one big giant star. The sun because its in the center of the solar system has gravity around it. The gravity is causing the heat on the sun. The sun has more gravity on it then any other planet. Now earth only has half as much gravity as the sun. So there for making the earth way cooler than the sun.

Is the sun's gravity stronger than the earth?

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.
