There are two dominant effects of the Sun on the planets in the Solar System. It binds them into their orbits gravitationally, and it warms them with its radiation. It also provides light, presumably mainly of interest to us here on Earth, and the Solar Wind of particles from the Sun bombards our atmosphere continually sometimes causing electrical effects in satellites and on the ground.

What is the effects of the suns gravity on the planets?
The sun's gravity has a number of effects on the planets. Primarily, the sun's gravity is what sets the orbits of the 9 planets. With one revolution around the sun equaling a solar year (365.25 days on earth). Planets closer to the sun orbit the sun at higher speeds due the sun's gravity being stronger at short distances (Gravity decreases exponentially as distance increases from an object) The sun's gravity also has major tidal effects on the planets. High and low tides cycles on earth are partially a function of differences in the sun's gravity on different portions of the earth. The sun's gravity pulls slightly more on the side of the earth facing the sun, causing fluids to bulge toward that side resulting in a high tide cycle. On Mercury, where the sun's gravity is much stronger, tidal forces are powerful enough to alter solid rock and effect the planets landscape.
Does the sun orbit the planets or do the planets orbit the sun?
The planets orbit the Sun. The Sun is at the center of our solar system and does not move.
Which planet experiences tidal effects created by the sun?
All planets in our solar system experience tidal effects from the sun, but to a much lesser extent than the tidal effects experienced from their moons. However, Mercury's orbit is the most affected by the sun's tidal forces due to its close proximity and eccentric orbit.
What is the relation between sun and planets?
Planets orbit around the sun due to gravitational attraction. The sun's gravitational pull keeps the planets in their orbits, while the planets also exert a gravitational force on the sun, causing it to wobble slightly. The sun provides the heat and light necessary for the planets to sustain life.
What Planet experiences tidal effects created by the sun?
All planets in our solar system experience tidal effects from the sun, but the most significant tidal effects are seen on Earth, where they influence ocean tides. The moon also plays a significant role in creating tides on Earth.
What affect does gravity have on the planets?
The planets' own gravity has made them spherical. Also there are other effects such as their ability to retain an atmosphere, etc. The Sun's gravitycauses the orbits of the planets.
What is the affect of the sun and Saturn?
it effects the sun because as that planet is the 6th planet in the solar system it does not get as mutch sun light as the 5 other planets

Are the planets like moons to the sun?
The planets are satellites of the sun. The moons are satellites of the planets. The moons revolve around the planets captured by their gravity, while the planets revolve around the sun captured by its gravity and the sun.
Are the sun and the planets attracted to each other?
Yes, the sun and planets are attracted to each other through the force of gravity. The sun's massive gravity keeps the planets in orbit around it, while the planets also have gravitational effects on each other.
How many moons do the suns have?
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.
Does the sun orbit the planets or do the planets orbit the sun?
The planets orbit the Sun. The Sun is at the center of our solar system and does not move.
Does the sun orbit the planets?
No. The planets orbit the Sun and the Sun orbits itself.
How does gravity between the sun and planets control the path the planets make around the sun?
The sizes of the Sun and planets determine the strength of gravitational pull of the planets on each other and the Sun. The Sun's mass is so great that the planets can't escape from the Sun's pull and so as the planets are moving by the Sun pulls them back into orbit.
What pulls the planets to the sun?
The sun's gravity pulls the planets.
Where is the sun in relation to the planets?
The planets orbit the central sun.
What do the planets and the sun orbit?
the sun does not move, the planets orbit around the sun idiot.
