How does the suns gravity compares to earths gravity?

The sun gravity is stronger


Why is planet near the sun has move very fast?

Near the Sun the force of gravity is very strong so the planet has more energy which means it has to move faster.


Why is heavenly bodies revolves around the sun?

Heavenly bodies revolve around the Sun, by obeying the Laws of Newtonian Mechanics(Gravity). All bodies would remain stationary or in unioform(straight line/speed) motion, unless acted upon by a force. That force is the mass of of the body and the acceleration dies to gravity. As the Earth has gravity , so does the Sun. The Sun being a more massive object has greater acceleration (gravity). So as the Earth moves in a straight line, the Sun's gravity pulls is in to the Sun. However, these forces are all Balanced . so our forward speed is balanced by the Sun;s gravity, so we don't 'fall into the Sun' , but just go round/orbit the Sun.


What keeps the earth sun and moon stay in their orbital paths?

Gravity on the sun is so strong it holds the eight planets, the Earth's gravity is only strong enough to hold the moon in place and stop its self from being sucked into the sun, The moon's gravity only stops its self from crashing into the earth but is not strong enough to not cause large waves sometimes. At least that's what they said in science class.


Why does the sun have lots of gravity?

LONG STORY SHORT: ITS BIG. ((: Because it has a lot of mass. The more mass, the more gravity. For a more in depth answer the reason why the sun has so much gravity is because of the density not the mass, mass is different then density, and having so much density in such a small area gives it so much gravity, and if your using this for a science worksheet the sun i composed of about 2 thousand trillion tons of hydrogen and helium.

Is Gravity on the sun weak?

Gravity on the sun is incredibly strong because of its massive size and density. The sun's gravity is about 28 times stronger than Earth's gravity. This strong gravitational force is what keeps all the planets in orbit around the sun.


How does the sun makes its own gravity?

Anything with mass has gravity. The sun's mass is enormous. Therefore the sun has strong gravity.

Why is the gravity so strong?

Why are we stuck on the earth instead of the sun that is more massive?

The Earth is big enough to make its own gravity, so we get stuck to it when we are born. The Sun's gravity pulls on the Earth, but Earth is in a stable orbit, so it goes around the sun instead of falling into it. Neither the Earth's gravity or the Sun's gravity pulls on us so hard that we can't move or do normal things. The Moon's gravity also pulls on the Earth, but it is less strong, so it doesn't pull us up... it only creates the tides, affecting the water.

How much gravity has the sun got?

The gravity of the sun is massive. A 100 lb person would weigh over 2100 lbs on the sun!


How does distance affect the strenght of the force of gravity?

it is like a magnet to metal and the sun is our magnet to the planets but inertia is the thing that keeps it away from our magnet the sun The farther apart two objects are, the lower the gravitational force between them, so gravity gets weaker with distance. To be specific, it decreases by the square of the distance. So if you double the the distance, the force of gravity is 1/4 as strong. If you triple the distance, the force is 1/9 as strong, and so on.

Is gravity found on the moon and the earth?

Not only is gravity found on the Earth and the Moon, but on all objects in space. Gravity is what's holding you on the ground no matter how high you can jump. The Sun's gravity is so strong that it keeps the planets, moons, comets, and asteroids in orbit around it.


Why do the plantes orbit the sun?

why do the PLANETS orbit the sun? Because of gravity, the sun has loads of gravity so it holds all the planets in space.
