Every other object in the solar system orbits around the sun because the sun is the most massive object in the solar system. Its immense gravitational pull keeps all the other objects, such as planets, moons, asteroids, and comets, in their respective orbits. The sun's gravity is strong enough to overpower the gravitational pull between the other objects, making them revolve around it. Additionally, the sun's average size for a star is also a factor as it provides enough gravitational force to maintain the stable orbits of the objects in the solar system. The brightness or size of the sun does not directly influence why other objects orbit around it.
