The sun is the most massive object in the solar system. Its immense gravitational pull keeps every other object in the solar system, such as planets and smaller celestial bodies, in orbit around it. This is because gravity is a force that attracts objects towards each other, causing them to revolve around a central mass. In this case, the sun's mass creates a gravitational pull that keeps all the other objects in orbit around it.
