Gravitational fields do not come to an end, they just get weaker, the farther you go from the mass which creates them. Since our sun (also known as Sol) has existed for about four and a half billion years, its gravitational field extends for about four and a half billion light years. Of course, the field is very weak at that distance, too weak even to detect. In practical terms, the gravitational field of the sun is strong enough to hold some objects in orbit, at distances of several billion miles. Comets orbit at those distances.
What else can I help you with?
Why does the sun have the most gravity in your solar system?
The sun, by far, has more mass than anything else in the solar system. The sun contains 99.86% of the mass in the solar system.
How does the suns gravity compares to earths gravity?
The sun gravity is stronger
Does the sun have greater gravity than the moon?
The sun definitely has more gravity than the moon. Gravity is based on mass, and the sun is much more massive.
How does the Suns gravity compared to earths gravity?
The sun gravity is stronger
What surrounds the sun and how far does it extend?
The sun is surrounded by a vast region of space called the heliosphere, which contains the solar wind and magnetic field. The heliosphere extends far beyond the orbits of the planets, out to a boundary called the heliopause, which marks the outer edge of the influence of the sun's solar wind. This boundary is about 11 billion miles (18 billion kilometers) away from the sun.
How far does the sun's corona extend?
Past Earth's orbit
Does the sun have a stronger or weaker gravity than earth?
Far, far stronger at 274.0m/s2earth gravity is 9.78m/s2
Where is the Oort Cloud at?
We have no direct evidence, but theory indicates that the inner boundary of the Oort cloud would be out past Pluto, at about 100 AU, and might extend for up to 20,000 AU or more. It might extend as far as one light-year out, but something that far out would be very tenuously held by the Sun's gravity.
Do planets far away from the sun have less gravity Yes or no?
No.
Why does the sun has more gravity than any other planet?
Because it is far, far larger.
Why do the outer planets have rings?
They get a different kind of gravity that far away from the sun. They can also get meteor pieces that have fallen of comets that we can not get, because we get too much of the sun's gravity.
Why does your weight change from planet to planet?
because of the gravity far from the sun.Thats also why the planets are circuling the sun because of the gravity .
How far did they extend their empire?
How far did the umayyads extend their empire
What kind of planets have a gravitational pull?
gravity depends on mass (matter) and distance from the sun because every planets gravity is how big it is and how far it is
How come moons orbit Jupiter even though sun have greater gravitational pull?
If you compare surface gravity, yes the sun's gravity is stronger than that of Jupiter. But gravity decreases in strength as you get farther from the object. Jupiter's moons are close enough to Jupiter and far enough from the sun that Jupiter's gravity has more influence.
Does the sun use gravity to stay in the middle of the solar system?
In a sense. The planets all orbit the sun because it contains about 99.9% of the mass of the solar system. The sun wobbles somewhat due to the gravity of the planets, but does not move very far.
How does the sun's gravity compare to earths gravity?
The sun gravity is stronger
