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.

Answer 1

The statement that best supports the claim that planets orbit the Sun because of gravitational force is: "The Sun has more mass than the planets."

This is because the gravitational force between two objects is directly proportional to their masses. Since the Sun has significantly more mass than any of the planets, it exerts a strong gravitational pull that keeps the planets in orbit around it.
