how does mass affect the gravitational pull of the Sun, Earth, and the Moon? How do their masses explain their orbits?

Answer:

Objects with more mass have more gravity. Gravity also gets weaker with distance. So, the closer objects are to each other, the stronger their gravitational pull is. Earth's gravity comes from all its mass.

the larger the mass, the greater the gravitational pull. bigger planets have a greater gravitational pull so smaller planets get pulled in and start to orbit them.
