The force exerted by the sun on an object is relatively small because it decreases with distance according to the inverse square law. Due to the vast distance between the sun and objects in the solar system, the gravitational force they experience is significantly weaker compared to forces experienced on Earth's surface.

What is another name for the gravitational force exerted by the sun?

Gravitation.


How much Newtons of force does the sun have?

The force exerted by the sun on any object depends on the mass of that object so there is no simple answer. The sun's force of a planet like Jupiter will be several orders of magnitude greater than the force exerted on an electron, for example.


How does the force of gravity exerted by the Sun on Jupiter compare to the force of gravity exerted by Jupiter on the Sun?

The gravitational forces between any two masses are equal on each mass.Your weight on Earth is equal to the Earth's weight on you.


How does the gravitational force exerted by earth on the sun compare with the gravitational force exerted by the sun on the earth?

The gravitational forces on two objects are equal. You attract the earth with a force equal to your weight. Whatever you weigh on earth, that's exactly how much the earth weighs on you.


What is a natural force of attraction exerted by one object on another object?

Gravitational force is a natural force of attraction exerted by one object on another object. It is responsible for the force that keeps planets in orbit around the sun and objects on Earth from floating out into space.


Would the force of gravity exerted onto the Earth by the Sun change?

It changes all the time, as Earth gets closer to, and farther from, the Sun, in its yearly orbit.


What causes the plants to stay in orbit around the sun?

Plants remain in orbit around the sun, like all other objects in the solar system, due to the gravitational force exerted by the sun. This force keeps them moving in a circular or elliptical path around the sun. The balance between the gravitational force of the sun and the plants' inertia keeps them in orbit.


What keeps all of the planets in its orbit?

The gravitational force exerted by the Sun keeps all the planets in their orbits. This force balances the planets' tendency to move in a straight line and keeps them moving in elliptical orbits around the Sun.


What holds the planets in their orbits?

Planets are held in their orbits by the gravitational force exerted by the sun. This force is what allows planets to stay in motion around the sun without flying off into space or falling into the sun.


The Earth orbits around the sun because the gravitational force that the sun exerts on the Earth?

Yes, the Earth orbits around the sun due to the gravitational force exerted by the sun. This force keeps the Earth moving in a curved path around the sun, preventing it from simply moving in a straight line out into space.


How can the sun have a large gravitational force on the earth but a small force on you?

Earth has more mass.


What is the gravitational force of the planet pulling on the sun causes?

The gravitational force from a planet on the sun is so small. For example, 1,000,000 Earths can fit in the sun. The mass of the sun is 333,000 times bigger than the Earth. It is the same way you on Earth. You have a gravitational force on the Earth but it is so small.
