A student claims that the planets orbit the Sun because of gravitational force. Which statement best supports this claim?(1 point) Responses The Sun has more mass than the planets. The Sun has more mass than the planets. Planets rotate on their axis faster than the Sun. Planets rotate on their axis faster than the Sun. The Sun was the first part of the solar system to form. The Sun was the first part of the solar system to form. Planets are farther from the center of the solar system.
