Would Earth have gravity without the sun?

Yes, Earth would still have gravity without the sun. Gravity is a fundamental force that exists between all objects with mass, so Earth's gravity is due to its own mass, not just the presence of the sun. The sun's gravity does impact Earth's orbit and tides, but Earth would still have its own gravitational field even without the sun.


Does the sun's gravity impact the orbit of Earth's moon?

Yes, very much so.


Does the sun have more or less gravity than earth?

I think the planet earth has more gravity


Why is the sun the object that gives earth gravity?

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


What causes the moon to have lessof an impact on tides at neap tides?

The Sun's gravity. At neap tides - the moon is exactly opposite the Sun in relation to the Earth. This means it's 'pulling' against the gravity of the Sun.


Why do you think the sun's gravity does not pull the earth into the sun?

The pull of the Sun's gravity is needed to hold the Earth in orbit.


How does the sun create Earth's gravity?

It does not. Earth's gravity is the result of Earth's mass.


What is the largest force that keeps the earth circling the sun?

The largest force that keeps the Earth circling the sun is gravity. Gravity is the force of attraction between the Earth and the sun that keeps the Earth in its orbit.


Is Gravity on the sun is much lighter than it is on Earth?

Our Sun's gravity is much higher than the Earth's.


Why does Earth orbit the sun?

Earth orbits the sun due to the force of gravity. Gravity is the attraction between two objects with mass, and the sun's gravity pulls Earth towards it, causing Earth to move in a circular path around the sun.


Does the earth have less gravity than the sun and moon?

Earth has weaker gravity than the sun bu stronger gravity than the moon.


Do the earth and the moon orbit the sun since the moon orbits the earth and the earth the sun?

Yes, while the Earth orbits the Sun, the Moon carries on orbiting the Earth, as it is not as affected by the distant gravity of the Sun as it is by the nearer gravity of Earth.
