Well the larger the mass of the object greater is the gravitational force. Since the sun is a million times more than mass the gravitational pull of the sun will be a million times more than mars.

Again gravitational force depends on the distance as well. It decreases with the increase in distance and increases with the decrease in distance. So if you go a 1000 km away from the sun the force of gravity would be the same as that of mars.

What keeps mars in orbit around the sun?

The Sun's gravity combined with the tangential ("sideways") velocity of Mars.


How does gravity affect the orbit of mars around the sun?

If there were no gravity the sun would not have condensed from a gaseous nebula and Mars would not have coalesced from the dust cloud that formed around the early sun.Gravity holds the sun and Mars together in orbits around their combined centre of mass. If there were no gravity then Mars would fly off into space.


Why mars and Jupiter moves around the sun?

Mars is closer to earth than the sun why does mars orbit the sun and not earth?

Mars orbits the sun instead of Earth because all planets, including Mars, orbit the sun due to the sun's gravitational pull. The gravitational force exerted by the sun on Mars is stronger than the gravitational force between Earth and Mars. This gravitational force keeps Mars in orbit around the sun.


Do you think there is more gravity on the sun or earth?

The sun has more gravity because it has more mass. (The greater the mass the more gravity)


Why does earth orbit around the sun in its path?

The Sun's gravity pulls on: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Gravity is a force that pulls the planets or a force to push. Gravity is on the Earth, gravity is floated in space. So the Sun's gravity keeps the planets to orbit the Sun.


Is the gravity on Sun more than on the Earth or is it the same?

The gravity of the sun is more. The sun is the roughly the size of 946 Earths.


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.


What happens if Mars hit the Sun?

If it did, it would be destroyed. Due to gravity, it would not happen.


What are two reasons that the pull of gravity between mars and the sun is less than the pull of gravity between earth and the sun?

1. The earth has greater mass 2. the earth is closer to the sun


How is Mars affected by gravity?

The mutual forces of gravitational attraction between Mars and the sun are what keeps Mars in orbit around the sun, just like Earth and every other permanent member of the solar system.
