If the Sun's mass were reduced by one half, the gravitational force it exerts would also be cut in half. This is because gravitational force is directly proportional to mass according to Newton's law of gravitation. Therefore, the correct answer is:
**it would be cut in half.**
**it would be cut in half.**
