How does gravity impact our solar system?Image result for how was the sun formed diagram

Gravity is one of the most important things in the universe, especially in the solar system that we live in. Gravity plays an important role in creating and destroying things in our solar system. For example one of the things that gravity does is keep the planets together, the sun being the biggest mass in our solar system keeps all the planets together using gravity, just like how the earth keeps humans on the planet using gravity. Gravity also created our sun, the clouds of gas and dust are pulled together because of gravity and it collapses in itself till the sun is formed. Not only that, but it also formed all of the planets when the star was first born, the remaining rock and other materials were kept in orbit by the suns gravitational pull. The gravitational pull takes all of the materials kept colliding with each other until it formed a bigger mass which produced our planets. If gravity did not exist, the planets would drift off into space, either farther or towards the sun and both of which will still end in the death of Earth. Without gravity in the solar system, we’d just float away into the sky. Gravity is important to our solar system and it is more than just keeping our feet to the ground. Gravity also controls the moons on every planet as well, if gravity were to stop working, the moon could crash into the earth.
