Detailed explanation-1: -As the largest planet in the Solar System, Jupiter exerts the greatest gravitational pull of all the planets in our neighborhood. Its gravitational acceleration is about 24, 79 m/s². If the planet has hundreds of times the mass of Earth, then its force of attraction will be much greater than that of Earth.

Detailed explanation-2: -The celestial body in our solar system with the most mass and hence strongest gravitational force is the Sun. Because the Sun is so massive, its gravitational field is able to attract all of the objects within the solar system but due to the great distance, the Sun does not attract objects outside of the solar system.

Detailed explanation-3: -While the Sun has the larger gravitational pull on the Earth, the much closer Moon plays a larger role in creating our tides.

Detailed explanation-4: -The force of gravity, or gravitational force, pulls objects with mass toward each other. We often think about the force of gravity from Earth. This force is what keeps your body on the ground. But any object with mass exerts a gravitational force on all other objects with mass.
