It is a fact that the more mass an object has, the stronger its gravity will be. So given the Sun’s unusually huge mass, it also has an enormous amount of gravity. Here are the facts: the mass of the Sun is 333, 000 times bigger than the Earth’s mass.

10 things. The Sun is about 100 times wider than Earth and about 10 times wider than Jupiter, the biggest planet. The Sun is the only star in our solar system. It is the center of our solar system, and its gravity holds the solar system together.
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.
5 dni temu · Approximately 330,000 times that of Earth, the Sun’s mass dominates the gravitational dynamics of our solar system. This staggering figure, detailed in a study by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), highlights the sun’s central role in the cosmic dance of planets and other celestial bodies.
The Sun is the star at the heart of our solar system. Its gravity holds the solar system together, keeping everything – from the biggest planets to the smallest bits of debris – in its orbit.
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.
The Sun is moved by the gravitational pull of the planets. The center of the Sun moves around the Solar System barycenter, within a range from 0.1 to 2.2 solar radii. The Sun's motion around the barycenter approximately repeats every 179 years, rotated by about 30° due primarily to the synodic period of Jupiter and Saturn. [151]
