Planets in the solar system remain bound mainly by the gravity of which body?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Sun

The planets remain bound to the solar system mainly because of the Sun’s gravitational attraction. The Sun contains almost all of the solar system’s mass, so its gravity provides the dominant force that keeps planets moving in stable orbits around it. An orbit results from the balance between a planet’s forward motion and the Sun’s inward gravitational pull; gravity continuously changes the direction of motion instead of simply letting the planet fly away. The Moon, comets, and asteroids also exert gravity, but their masses are far smaller and their influence on the planets is comparatively limited. Therefore, option C is correct.
