Each planet is attracted by the Sun's gravity.
A planet has its own forward speed, which causes it to tend to travel at constant speed in a straight line. The Sun's gravity pulls at right angles to the planet's forward speed, causing it to curve towards the Sun all the time.
Isaac newton proved that the curvature in the path followed is equivalent to acceleration towards the centre of curvature - the Sun in this case. He also proved that the amount of acceleration (curvature) is exactly explained by the law of gravity and the laws of motion.
The effect is very small.
Yes, planets and the sun interact through gravitational forces. The sun's gravity keeps the planets in orbit around it, while the planets' gravity tugs on the sun, causing it to wobble slightly. Additionally, the sun's energy and solar wind affect the planets' atmospheres and magnetic fields.
The planets have constant effects on human lives despite the inability to see the majority by human eye. The planets alter weather, gravity, daylight, and many other aspects.
There is gravity on all planets. The strength of that gravity varies depending on the size and mass of each planet.
Yes, all planets in our solar system are held in orbit around the Sun by the force of gravity. Gravity is what keeps celestial bodies like planets, moons, and asteroids moving in their respective orbits.

The effect is very small.
The planets' own gravity has made them spherical. Also there are other effects such as their ability to retain an atmosphere, etc. The Sun's gravitycauses the orbits of the planets.
Yes, gravity affects your weight on different planets. Weight is a measure of the gravitational force acting on an object, so on planets with stronger gravity, you would weigh more, and on planets with weaker gravity, you would weigh less compared to your weight on Earth.
You know that no planets actually orbit the earth right? ...?

"Gravity" is responsible for the existence of planetary orbits, and for their shapes and periods. It's also the reason for the spherical shapes of the planets, and for the existence of atmospheres, in the case of those planets that have any.
Gravity keeps the planets in orbit around the sun and the stars and the stars in orbit around the center of the galaxy. Gravity also holds the stars together against their own internal pressure.
Yes, planets and the sun interact through gravitational forces. The sun's gravity keeps the planets in orbit around it, while the planets' gravity tugs on the sun, causing it to wobble slightly. Additionally, the sun's energy and solar wind affect the planets' atmospheres and magnetic fields.
Planets have gravity because they have mass.
the sun holds 98% of the solar system.
The other planets do have gravity.
