Which statement best explains why the planet orbit around the sun

Question

The sun exerts the largest gravitational force due to its mass

The sun exerts the smallest gravitational force due to its mass

The song exert the largest gravitational force due to its location

The Sun exerts the smallest gravitational force due to its location

Answer 1

The sun exerts the largest gravitational force due to its mass.

This statement is the best explanation because the force of gravity is directly proportional to the mass of an object. The sun, being much more massive than any of the planets, exerts the largest gravitational force on them, causing them to orbit around it.
