Newton thought it did, Einstein said the idea that matter reaches out into space and pulls things toward it was rediculous, and part of his theory of relativity explains gravity as the distortion or curvature of space around massive objects which change their path by bending space, like a Bowling ball on a matress bending the matress towards the bowling ball.
What else can I help you with?
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 all masses exert on other masses?
All masses exert a gravitational force on other masses, causing them to attract each other. The strength of this force depends on the masses of the objects and the distance between them, as described by Newton's law of universal gravitation. This force is responsible for phenomena such as orbits of planets around the sun and the attraction between objects on Earth.
Does the sun exerts gravity on other planets but does not exert gravity on earth?
No, the sun exerts gravitational force on all objects in the solar system, including planets and Earth. This force keeps the planets in orbit around the sun and also affects Earth's orbit and tides due to its gravitational pull.
Can the sun swallow all eight planets?
No, the sun cannot swallow all eight planets. The sun is much larger than the planets in our solar system, but it will not engulf them. However, the sun will eventually expand into a red giant and could engulf the innermost planets.
What is the gravitational attraction between planets and sun?
The gravitational attraction between planets and the Sun is dependent on their masses and the distance between them. According to the law of universal gravitation, this attraction is stronger when the masses are larger and closer together, resulting in the planets orbiting the Sun in stable paths.
Why can the sun exert its gravitation on all the planets?
Because it is very massive and therefore its gravity is the strongest of all objects in the solar system, reaching right out to very far out dwarf planets like Eris and Sedna.
Why can the sun exert the gravitation on all the planets?
Because it is very massive and therefore its gravity is the strongest of all objects in the solar system, reaching right out to very far out dwarf planets like Eris and Sedna.
Why can the sun exerts its gravitation on all of the planet?
Because the planets are close enough to the sun to be affected by its gravitational field.
Which of asteroids the sun moons or planets has the greatest gravitation force?
The Sun.

This force is responsible for phenomena such as orbits of planets around the sun and the attraction between objects on Earth.
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.
What is the relation between sun and planets?
Planets orbit around the sun due to gravitational attraction. The sun's gravitational pull keeps the planets in their orbits, while the planets also exert a gravitational force on the sun, causing it to wobble slightly. The sun provides the heat and light necessary for the planets to sustain life.
What keeps the planets from being pulled into the sun?
The planets are kept in orbit around the sun due to the gravitational force between them. This force, which is a balance between the planet's inertia and the sun's gravitational pull, keeps the planets moving in a stable path around the sun.
Planets revolve around the sun?
according to newton's law of gravitation every object in the nature attract other due to its gravitational pull so planets revolve around sun.
What evidence do you have that the planets move in elliptical orbits around the sun and not in circular orbits?
Elliptical orbits of the planets around the sun actually match what we observe. Newton's Theory of Universal Gravitation states that planets will move around the sun in elliptical orbits.
Who believed that forces keep moons orbiting planets and planets orbiting the sun?
Isaac Newton stated that the universal law of gravitation keeps moons orbiting planets and planets orbiting the sun. This law describes how every mass attracts every other mass in the universe with a force proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.
