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.


How does the sun's gravity work on the earth if the earth already has a gravitational pull of its own?

Everything that has mass has gravity. It's not just the sun's gravity alone, or the earth's gravity alone. The sun and earth attract each other. The sun is so much more massive that it is easy to (erroneously) think that it is ONLY the sun that is doing the attracting. Think of a make-believe planet that has a moon of identical mass. The planet is the one supporting human life. Which one is orbiting around the other? You are mistaken if you think the planet remains 'still' relatively speaking, and the moon is doing all of the orbiting. If you could observe them from high to the north, you would see that they really spiral around each other. So, the earth is pulling on the sun at the same time that the sun is pulling on the earth.


Why is the Sun heavier than Earth?

You would weigh more on the Sun because it is a greater mass, and it has a greater gravitational pull than the Earth. In retrospect, you would weigh less on the moon, since it is smaller and less gravitational pull.


What is the gravity of the sun compared to the earth?

Even though the sun is about 1.3 million times the size of earth, the mass is only about 28 times greater. This is largely because the sun is comprised of gas (hydrogen and helium mostly). The sun actually has a gravitational force of about 28 times that of earth.


Is it true that the sun affected by earth's gravity more than other stars are?

Yes. Gravity is inversely proportional to distance.

Why does the sun have more gravity then the earth?

Because it's mass is significantly larger so therefore, more gravity!


What is the exact gravity for the sun?

Why the Earth doesn't fall in the Sun?

Gravity is caused by mass, so objects with more mass, such as planets and stars, exert a lot of gravity. The earth and everything on it are constantly falling towards the sun because of the sun's immense gravity. ... Because of this sideways momentum, the earth is continually falling towards the sun and missing it.


How is the earth cooler than the sun?

Well the sun is just one big giant star. The sun because its in the center of the solar system has gravity around it. The gravity is causing the heat on the sun. The sun has more gravity on it then any other planet. Now earth only has half as much gravity as the sun. So there for making the earth way cooler than the sun.

Is the sun's gravity stronger than the earth?

Yes, the sun has much more mass than the earth so the sun warps spacetime much more than the earth warps spacetime. The amount that spacetime is warped by an object is proportional to the strength of that object's gravity.
