SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -Based on its mass, the sun’s gravitational attraction to the Earth is more than 177 times greater than that of the moon to the Earth.

Detailed explanation-2: -Even though the sun is much more massive and therefore has stronger overall gravity than the moon, the moon is closer to the earth so that its gravitational gradient is stronger than that of the sun.

Detailed explanation-3: -Because the Sun is the largest, most massive object in our solar system, it also has the strongest gravitational force in our solar system. It pulls every one of the planets (and everything else) toward its center of mass.

Detailed explanation-4: -Among all the planets in our solar system, Jupiter is the only planet whose gravity is higher than all planets. Before moving on to the discussion, firstly know that-“What is gravitational force?”. The gravitational force is a force that attracts any two objects with mass.

Detailed explanation-5: -Not only is the Moon smaller than the Earth, but it is only about 60 percent as dense as Earth. Thus, the gravitational attraction on the Moon is much less than it is here on Earth, and a person weighs less on the Moon.
