Objects orbit the sun because of its immense gravity. The sun contains over 99.8% of the total mass of the Solar System, which gives it a powerful gravitational pull. This gravity draws in objects, such as planets, asteroids, and comets, keeping them in orbit around the sun. The balance between the sun's gravity pulling these objects inward and the objects' inertia trying to move them in a straight line results in the elliptical orbits we observe.
