Here's why:
* Mass: The Sun accounts for over 99.8% of the total mass of the entire solar system. Its immense mass is the primary factor driving its strong gravitational pull.
* Gravitational Force: Gravity is directly proportional to mass. The more massive an object, the stronger its gravitational pull.
* Influence: The Sun's gravity holds all the planets, asteroids, comets, and other objects in orbit around it.
While Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, it is still significantly smaller than the Sun, and therefore has a weaker gravitational pull.
