- The sun will win the tug-of-war.
- The sun has a much greater mass than all the other objects in the solar system combined.
- Mass is the amount of matter packed into something, and the sun contains over 99% of the total mass of the solar system.
- Even though the sun isn't the biggest object in the universe, its enormous mass gives it overwhelming gravitational pull.
- Therefore, the sun's gravitational force would easily overpower the combined gravitational forces of all planets, moons, and asteroids.
