Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Our solar system consists of our star, the Sun, and everything bound to it by gravity – the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune; dwarf planets such as Pluto; dozens of moons; and millions of asteroids, comets, and meteoroids.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Sun’s gravity pulls the planets in orbit around it, and some planets pull moons in orbit around them. Even spacecraft are in motion through the solar system, either in orbit around the Earth or Moon, or traveling to further worlds, because of gravitational forces.

Detailed explanation-3: -The inner solar system consists of the Sun and the first four planets. The outer solar system comprises the next four planets and everything beyond the planet Neptune but within the gravitational pull of the Sun. The Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud are also parts of the outer region.

Detailed explanation-4: -The gravity of the sun keeps all the planets in orbit in our solar system. However, each planet, moon and asteroid have their own gravitational pull defined by their density, size, mass, and proximity to other celestial bodies.
