Every other object in the solar system orbits around the sun due to the force of gravity. The sun's massive gravitational pull keeps all the planets, moons, and other objects in their respective orbits. Gravity is a fundamental force of nature that attracts objects with mass towards each other. Since the sun is the most massive object in the solar system, its gravitational pull is the strongest, causing all other objects to revolve around it. The sun's brightness or size doesn't directly influence why other objects orbit around it; it is primarily due to its mass and gravitational force.
