What is the orbit of the sun due to gravity?

The planets' gravity on the Sun is insignificant, compared to the Sun's mass; so, within the Solar System, it is (basically) the planets that orbit around the Sun.On the other hand, the Sun - together with all the planets - orbits around the center of the Milky Way (our galaxy).The planets' gravity on the Sun is insignificant, compared to the Sun's mass; so, within the Solar System, it is (basically) the planets that orbit around the Sun.On the other hand, the Sun - together with all the planets - orbits around the center of the Milky Way (our galaxy).The planets' gravity on the Sun is insignificant, compared to the Sun's mass; so, within the Solar System, it is (basically) the planets that orbit around the Sun.On the other hand, the Sun - together with all the planets - orbits around the center of the Milky Way (our galaxy).The planets' gravity on the Sun is insignificant, compared to the Sun's mass; so, within the Solar System, it is (basically) the planets that orbit around the Sun.On the other hand, the Sun - together with all the planets - orbits around the center of the Milky Way (our galaxy).

How does gravity affect the stars moon an planets?

Gravity keeps the planets in orbit around the sun and the stars and the stars in orbit around the center of the galaxy. Gravity also holds the stars together against their own internal pressure.
