Does Sun's surface exerts gravitational pull?

Yes,it exerts gravitational pull and it is due to this gravitational pull all the planets are revolving around the sun in fixed orbits.

Uh... it contains mass but doesn't have the act of the pull of the earth?

the gravitational force has long range for examples stars (sun) and theire plants (earth) F=GMm/r^2

the reaction of gravity is movement, if the object is bigger than earth then it will attract earth and earth will react

On earth 9.8N = 1kg, but that is just because the earth's acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s².\n\nTo find the gravitational pull of the sun (like 9.8 for the earth) just use the formula g = GM/r², where G is the gravitational constant (6.67x10^-11), M the mass of the sun (1.9891x10^30 kg), r the radius of the sun (6.95x10^8m).

I think the catch to your question is that "gravity would pull us away from the sun at a faster rate tus making gravity faster then light" is complete nonsense. Gravity is two objects pulling on each other. Gravity in and of itself doesn't pull anything anywhere, and it certainly doesn't pull two things away from each other, particularly if one of those two things has just exploded and no longer exists. If you are suggesting that the gravitational pull from the other planets would then pull us away from the ex-Sun, that might be, but the interaction between the remaining bodies in our solar system would be amazingly complex, not easily modelled, impacted by the force of the exploding star, and I see no reason at all to believe that it would cause the Earth to move out of orbit fast enough to escape the light coming from the ex-Sun.\n\nComplete gibberish.

1) The Sun would look slightly larger because the "surface" you are seeing is not the photosphere (which emits mostly visible light) but is the corona, which is hotter and thus emits higher-energy light.\n\n2) Solid objects cannot exhibit differential rotation, only liquid and gaseous objects can.

Larger planet has a stronger gravitational pull than a smaller planet.

The gravitational force holds it into a spherical shape.

Yes the sun moves but let me explain:\n\nThe sun rotates just like earth does only at different speeds. Without going into tedious explanation this is what ultimately causes sun spots and solar flares.\n\nThe Sun also has a slight wobble to it. It doesn't really orbit but due to the gravitational pull of the planets on the sun the sun has a VERY small wobble. Basically in physics you have to add the collective mass of the sun and the planets when calculating the exact center mass of the solar system. When you do this the exact center does not fall at the exact center of the sun; it's slightly off.\n\ngo to this websites to see it in a diagram:\n\nhttp://tycho.bgsu.edu/~laird/cp_images/wobble.html

not really. To have planets and moons it has to have a gravitational pull

As per Physics the world would never fall from its place. It can only happen only when the Sun ceases to exist and then the whole solar system and other objects under influence of gravity by the sun would simply leave its predefined orbit and move outwards into space until it is attracted by the gravitationalpull of some other body.

Yes you do.  It is a very small difference, and would depend which side of the earth you were on regards it's orbital path around the sun, however you would actually make a difference.\n\nIf this is a question that has been put to you by your physics proffessor, then the answer is in the long run....no, because....when you land, you absorbe the energy you displaced upon leaving.\n\nThis is about gravity.  Look up Kepler's Law.\n\ngood luck.

The sun is in a state of happy equilibrium.\n\nThere are two main forces acting on the sun....gravity and entropy.\n\nThe sun has A LOT of mass.  With all this mass, the sun has a pretty strong gravitational field, so all this mass is pulling on itself and trying to force it to fall toward the center.  In other words, the sun's own weight is trying to collapse it.  The more the sun shrinks and collapses, the more it heats up and the pressure inside increase (as would be expected).\nThe more the sun heats up and the pressure rises, the more it wants to "blow itself apart".  After a certain point, the pressure and heat at the core is high enough for nuclear fusion to take place.  Nuclear fusion releases a lot of energy...so much energy, it is capeable of hold the sun up under its own weight.\n\nAt this point in the sun's life, the forces of gravity trying to pull the sun together and the energy released by nuclear fusion acting to hold the sun up and blow it apart of pretty much balanced.  If one force were to get the upperhand, the other force would work to balance it out.  If the sun were to shrink a little, the rate of nuclear fusion would increase to compensate.  If nuclear fusion increases, the the sun would expand, cool, and nuclear fusion would slow, allowing gravity to pull it back together.\n\nAs the sun runs out of Hydrogen to fuse, the sun will have to fuse heaveier and heavier elements with increaingly less yeild.  In the end however, our sun will expand to become a Red Giant before blowing off a lot of material and become a white dwarf star.

The sun DOESN'T know the ship is there, and it doesn't have to:  Gravity is a warping or deformation of the four-dimensional fabric of space-time, not an actual pulling.\n\nThe earth travels around the sun because the earth is actually travelling IN A STRAIGHT LINE in its "local" space.  The end result is an ellipse because the space around the sun is literally bent into a curved shape.\n\nSo, your ship can travel faster than light, but it can't travel faster than space -- which is to say, wherever it arrives after its hyperspace trip -- it IS where it IS and if the space is bent the ship will follow the contour of its local space regardless of how far it is from the source of the gravitational spacetime warping.  No information or "graviton" needs to actually travel from the ship to the sun.
