And the sun is so much smaller.
I really don't know why, I was just wondering.

The sun has more gravity because it's made up of more mass.

So why doesn't the earth get pulled towards the sun, because it is smaller?

The Earth's gravity also attracts the sun, but not enough to overcome the sun's gravity on the Earth. This is why you can hold objects when you're on Earth.

So it's because it's more massive, and more massive things attract less massive things, correct?
