and how does the sun relate to mass??

Furthermore, because the sun has mass, and gravity it exerts a pull to keep us in orbit round itself.
Any object in circular motion needs a pull towards the cente to keep it going round.
Matter tells space how to curve (gravity) and space tells matter how to move.

Sun is very massive and the gravity is the consequence of mass.

All bodys that have mass, including the sun, have a gravitational field around them.
The sun is such a body and therefore has mass.

sun is like 1 billion time more massive than earth... gravity is very pronounced for dense and massive things... look at a black hole.

Gravity: 27.9g (Earth=0.99732g)
Mass: 1.988435 Ã 10^30kg (332,946 Earths)
