Question

What is most likely the reason Earth moves in an orbit around the sun?

Because the sun remains in motion with respect to Earth
Because Earth and the sun exert a weak gravitational pull on each other
Because Earth exerts a stronger pull on the sun than the sun exerts on Earth Because the sun's mass creates a gravitational force that pulls Earth towards it

Answer 1

I'm almost sure your answer is going to be "Because the sun's mass creates a gravitational force that pulls earth towards it."

correct me if I am wrong.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Earth moves in an orbit around the sun. It is due to the gravitational force created due to the mass of the sun that pulls earth towards it. Gravitational force is responsible for the motion of Earth around the sun.

It is similar to the moon orbits earth due to Earth's gravity and as the earth orbits the sun due to the sun's gravity.

Hence, the correct option is (d) " Because the sun's mass creates a gravitational force that pulls Earth towards it".
