Gravitational pull is created by mass, but decreases exponentially with the distance between centers of mass. So although the Sun is much more massive, it is comparatively so much farther away that for any object sufficiently close to Earth, the Earth will exert a stronger force of attraction.
This allows the planet to retain its atmosphere and keeps objects on its surface, and keeps the Moon and artificial satellites in orbit. At some point closer to the Moon than to the Earth, the same effect makes lunar gravity greater than that of the Earth.
What else can I help you with?
How much stronger is the Sun's gravity than the Earth's?
The sun's gravity is approximately 28 times stronger than the Earth's gravity. This means that objects on the surface of the sun would experience 28 times the gravitational force compared to objects on the surface of the Earth.
If you weigh 125lbs on earth how much would you weigh on the sun?
Your weight on the sun would be much greater than on Earth due to its stronger gravitational pull. The sun's gravity is about 28 times stronger than Earth's, so you would weigh approximately 3500lbs on the sun.
What would be 80 pounds on the sun?
On the sun, 80 pounds would be significantly lighter than on Earth due to the sun's much stronger gravitational pull. The sun's average surface gravity is about 28 times stronger than Earth's, so 80 pounds on Earth would weigh only about 2.86 pounds on the sun.
How much stronger is the sun's gravity than the earths?
The Sun has a gravity of 27.94 g whereas the Earth has a gravity of 0.99732 g about 28 times more than the Earth.
Why do the Moon's gravity have a greater effect on earths ocean tides than the suns gravity?
Even though the suns gravitational pull is stronger than the moons and does infact effect the tides slightly, the moon is close enough to pull the tides more than the sun. Its all distance related.
Why does not the sun revolve around the earth?
Because the sun is way bigger than the earth. And the sun's gravitational pull is way stronger than the earth. So the answer is the sun's gravitational pull. Because without the sun we would be floating lost in space
How much stronger is the Sun's gravity than the Earth's?
The sun's gravity is approximately 28 times stronger than the Earth's gravity. This means that objects on the surface of the sun would experience 28 times the gravitational force compared to objects on the surface of the Earth.
Where is the pull of gravity stronger at the surface of the earth or at the surface at the sun?
the sun because its mass is way bigger than that of earths

Why doesn't the suns gravitational force pull off earth?
Because even though the sun's gravity is much stronger than Earth's overall, Earth's gravity is stronger on Earth's surface and in space around Earth because Earth is 93 million miles from the sun.
Does the sun or earth have a stronger gravitional pull?
The sun because it has more mass. The greater the mass, the greater the gravitational pull.
How much stronger is the sun's gravity than the earths?
The Sun has a gravity of 27.94 g whereas the Earth has a gravity of 0.99732 g about 28 times more than the Earth.
Why is Jupiter moving slower than earth around the sun shouldn't farther from the sun and heavier than the earth mean faster?
Jupiter moves slower than earth around the sun because the distance between the them is much farther than earth's distance to the sun. Gravity has a stronger pull on earth because gravity depends on the masses and the distance between the objects. (Sun)---->Earth (Sun)---- - - - - - - ->Jupiter
Why is the gravitational pull of the moon stronger than the suns?
No. Gravity is a function of mass, and since the sun is thousands of times bigger, the sun's gravitational force is abomany thousands of times greater. However, the moon is much closer to earth (a quarter of a million miles vs. 93,000,000 miles for the sun), so the moon's gravitational effect on the earth is much larger than the sun's gravitational effect on the earth. This is why ocean tides resulting from the moon's gravitational pull are much higher than tides resulting from the sun's gravitational pull. One a month, when the sun and moon are aligned on the same side of the earth, will create the highest tides since the gravitational pull of both sun and moon are pulling in the same direction.
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.
Why does the moon have a stronger pull on earth than the sun?
Well, I don't think it is, considering we are revolving the SUN not the MOON. :) Although the Moon does have significant effects on the Earth because the Moon is such a large object so close the to Earth.
