Planets have less mass than the sun, hence, they have weaker gravitational fields.

Is it true that the closer the planets are to the sun then the less gravity the planets have?

No. The surface gravity of a planet depends on its size and mass, not its distance from the sun.


Do planets far away from the sun have less gravity Yes or no?

No.


Why do planets have less gravity than the sun?

No planet has anywhere near the mass that the sun does, and the strength of gravity in an object is proportional to its mass.


What pulls the planets to the sun?

The sun's gravity pulls the planets.


Where does the gravity that holds the planets in their orbits come from?

The gravity that keeps the planets in orbit is the sun's gravity, which is a product of the sun's mass.


The earths gravity keeps the planets circling the sun?

Actually, it's the gravity of the sun that keeps the planets in orbit around it. The force of gravity between the sun and the planets causes them to be pulled towards the sun, while their momentum keeps them moving in a circular or elliptical path.


Why do the planets stay in there orbits as they revolve around the sun?

because of the gravity the sun has and also the planets have gravity turning around the sun


Does the sun give planets gravity?

No. Planets have gravity as a result of their own mass.


What forces holds the earth and other planets in the Sun's orbit?

Simple. Gravity! The planets are dragged in by the gravity of the sun.


How does the sun have gravity?

The sun has all the gravity to keep the planets a certain distance from the sun.


Why do the plantes orbit the sun?

why do the PLANETS orbit the sun? Because of gravity, the sun has loads of gravity so it holds all the planets in space.


When the planets are farther away from the sun they go - what is the answer?

They go more slowly. That's because there is less gravity.
