Gravity is not picky. The sun's gravity holds everything in the solar system in place, by definition. That includes earth.

Does Earth exert gravity?

Anything that has mass exerts a gravitational field, so yes, earth exerts one.


Does only the Earth exert gravity?

All matter, including every star, planet, galaxy, or whatever, anywhere in the universe, exerts the same force of gravity, as described by Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation.


What exerts gravity?

All objects with mass exert gravity, including planets, stars, and even people. Gravity is a fundamental force of nature that causes all objects to be attracted to each other. The strength of gravity is determined by the mass of the objects and the distance between them.


Does Earth exert a contact or a non-contact force on the moon?

Earth exerts a non-contact force on the moon.


Why water exerts pressure?

The same reason bricks exert downward pressure. Gravity.


What does gravity exert?

Gravity exerts an acceleration a= GM/r2 = v2/r.


Why water exerts downward pressure?

The same reason bricks exert downward pressure. Gravity.


Why can the sun exert it gravitation on all of the planets?

Science observes and measures gravity, and forms theories about it, but it does not answer 'why'. Nobody knows why the force of gravity exists. That isn't a question for science, it's theology. But we know the Sun exerts a force on all the planets, and it's inverse-square, which means that the force is one quarter at twice the distance, so at Neptune it is still there but only 1/900 as strong as it is at the Earth.


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.


What is the pull that all objects exert on each other?

Gravity is the force of attraction that all objects with mass exert on each other. It is responsible for keeping planets in orbit around the sun and objects on Earth's surface, among other phenomena.


What is the force that pulls all objects to the earth?

GRAVITY... 2nd answer: The force that pulls all objects toward each other is gravity. The earth exerts the force of gravity on you, and you exert the force of gravity on the earth ( or your couch, dog, etc). We notice Earth's force of gravity because it is huge compared with the force of gravity of our bodies .... or the force of gravity of our bowling balls, and so forth.


Do only planets exert gravity?

No. Anything with mass exerts a gravitational pull. The strength of that pull is directly proportional to an object's mass and most objects do not have enough mass of their gravity to be noticeable. It starts to become noticeable with objects on the level of large asteroids and comets and small moons. Stars, which are far more massive than planets, have far stronger gravity. Black holes have the strongest gravity in the universe.
