Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Gravity is the force that pulls Earth and stops it from going off in some other direction.” Without the sun’s gravitational pull, Earth would move in a straight line away from the sun. Gravity is also the force that keeps the moon revolving around Earth.
Detailed explanation-2: -The sun has a strong gravitational field due to its total mass. Consisting mostly of hydrogen, its gravity is sufficient to compress that gas into a very dense plasma with sufficient force at the center of the sun to promote the fusion of hydrogen into helium. Gases too have mass.
