Out here, at the distance we orbit the sun, the gravitational pull of the sun is only 0.0006 of the strength of the earth’s gravity on the surface of the earth. But that’s enough to pull the entire planet around in a big, nearly circular orbit, once per year.

8 sie 2018 · The Sun contains 99.8 percent of the mass in our solar system. Its gravitational pull is what keeps everything here, from tiny Mercury to the gas giants to the Oort Cloud, 186 billion miles away.
Many stars are much larger – but the Sun is far more massive than our home planet: it would take more than 330,000 Earths to match the mass of the Sun, and it would take 1.3 million Earths to fill the Sun's volume.
11 sie 2021 · A Planetary Astronomer has created an animation that demonstrates gravitational pull in our solar system, by showing the time it takes a ball to drop from 1,000 meters. A planet’s size, mass, and density determine how strong its gravitational pull is.
If you’re standing on the photosphere of the sun -- the "surface", the gravitational strength of the sun will be about 27.9 times that of the Earth, if you were standing on the surface of the Earth. In metric units, on Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 meters/sec^2, so on the Sun, that would be 273.7 meters/sec^2.
5 dni temu · Being the heavyweight champion in our solar system, the Sun exerts a gravitational pull that’s simply enormous. It keeps everything from the giant Jupiter to tiny asteroids in check, making it the ultimate cosmic ringleader.
29 maj 2024 · This gravitational pull allows the sun to hold together a system of eight planets, potentially dozens of dwarf planets, at least 170 moons, and countless comets and asteroids. Without the sun's gravity, these celestial bodies would drift off into deep space.
