The gravitational pull of our solar system is primarily dominated by the Sun, which accounts for about 99.86% of the total mass. This immense gravitational force keeps the planets, moons, asteroids, and comets in orbit around it. The gravitational influence decreases with distance, affecting the motion of objects well beyond the outer planets, including the Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud. Overall, the solar system's gravitational field is a complex interplay of forces from all its celestial bodies.

What accounts for the sun's tremendous gravitational pull on all of the other object in the solar system and makes it the center of the solar system?

The sun has the majority of the mass in the solar system. Gravitational attraction varies directly as the magnitude of the mass. The sun therefore has the greatest gravitational effect in the solar system.


What object in your solar system has the second greatest gravitational pull?

In our solar system, the object with the second greatest gravitational pull is Jupiter. Jupiter, the largest planet, has a mass more than 300 times that of Earth, resulting in a strong gravitational force that significantly influences the orbits of its many moons and nearby objects. The Sun holds the greatest gravitational pull, dominating the solar system's dynamics.


Why do objects in the solar system revolve around the sun?

Due to the gravitational pull towards the sun, fron when the solar system was born in a solar nebula.


Does the solar system even have anything to do with science?

Yes, definitely! The Solar System was founded by scientist and also, gravitational pull is related to science. So is the Solar System!
