Solution
Gravitational force:
The solar system's gravitational force is responsible for holding the solar system together.
The solar system is gravitationally bound by the sun, which is located at its center.
The force of attraction between any two bodies is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them, according to Newton's universal law of gravitation.
The gravitational force is the universal force of attraction that acts between objects.
