All planets orbit around the sun because the sun is the main gravity pull in the whole solar system. If the sun was not in the solar system then all the planets would just drift away. Also if the sun was not around then there would be no warmth on any planets.

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.


Which object in space has the greatest effect on the solar system?

Within our own solar system, the sun, Sol, has the greatest effect on the rest of the system. Outside of our system, objects with great effect on us include the black hole at the center of the Milky Way, other galaxies, the singularity trace where the Big Bang first occurred, roughly the "Center of the Universe," and space itself.


Where is most of the mass in the solar system and what effect does this have?

Most of the mass of the solar system is in the sun. As a consequence all objects in the solar system orbit the sun.
