Detailed explanation-1: -The closer a planet is to the Sun, the stronger the Sun’s gravitational pull on it, and the faster the planet moves. The farther it is from the Sun, the weaker the Sun’s gravitational pull, and the slower it moves in its orbit.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Flexi Says: The Sun’s gravity always pulls the planets in the solar system towards itself. However, the planets move in circular orbits with a velocity great enough in the tangential direction (sideways) which keeps them from falling into the Sun.
Detailed explanation-4: -The closer the planet is to the Sun, the greater the pull of the Sun’s gravity, and the faster the planet orbits.
Detailed explanation-5: -Gravity in our universe Gravity is what holds the planets in orbit around the sun and what keeps the moon in orbit around Earth. The gravitational pull of the moon pulls the seas towards it, causing the ocean tides. Gravity creates stars and planets by pulling together the material from which they are made.
