No one really knows how gravity works but what we've observed is that anything that has mass has gravity. So every single piece of matter that makes up a planet is gravitationally attracted to every other piece and they stick together as a unified whole.

How does the gravity of the planets effect the mass?

the bigger the planet the more gravity it has because it needs to hold it self together so it has more gravity than smaller planets who require a small amount of gravity to hold themselves toghther

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.


What force keeps the outer planets together?
