think adout this, whenever there is heat there is presure, and gravity.
look at our solar system, in the center is the sun which is madeup of fire, could this be thereasn for our solarsystems gravitational field?
our planet, in its core is also consist of heat, could this be the reasn for our gravity?

Anything that has mass has a gravitational field. That's right even me and you. If we were floating near each other in deep space far from other massive objects we would attract and come together. The larger the mass the greater the gravitational field.
In terms of heat you got it backwards. It would be more accurate to say that gravity sometimes indirectly causes heat. Because the sun is so massive, its own gravity compresses the gases its composed of (He and H) to very high pressures. Thus increasing their temperature beyond the point required for nuclear fusion. That's why the sun shines!!

No, heat does not create gravity, mass does. Heat however does create wind, hence the term, solar wind in space. And have u seen some of the storms on the sun? Insane. No, heat does not create gravity. Size and mass creates gravity, the larger an object the larger the mass, and the stronger the pull of gravity from that object.

Heat doesn't create gravity.
Mass creates gravity, and enough mass causes the object to fuse hydrogen (in the case of the sun).
Earth's core is molten from radioactivity and the leftover heat from its formation 4+ billion years ago.
The moon has gravity, and its cold (even its core is cold).
So do Mars, Ceres, Pluto, and a lot of other objects with gravity but no heat.
Heat will create pressure, to be sure. But its an outward pressure (it tries to expand), not gravitational (which is inward toward the centre).

yes heat does create mass and gravity
as einstein said a mug of coffee weights more when it is hot as energy and mass are equivalent (E=MC^2)
the influence is negligible but real mercury a planet almost as big as the Moon has the same gravity as mars (39%) due to heat and density
other people are just assuming

No, heat has nothing to do with gravity. Gravity depends on the mass of an object. The bigger the mass that larger the gravitational pull.

No, actually all masses have gravity, but very much differ relative to their distance of each other. This is formulated in the equation F= g(m1)(m2)/r2. I believe heat from the Sun is started by nuclear fission during the time when it is born.

Everything that has mass creates gravty. Pluto which is mostly ice has its own gravity. The earth is so large that we feel its gravity and dont drift off. We are sort of like dust on a bowling ball, were stuck to it.

heat creates a cirular motion, and that motion creates an electro magnetic force, that is the gravity on the earth, plus any gravity from the sun. that is why we are gravitating around the sun. hence it is heat that help. also the core of the earth is iron or metalic. so espceially a heated since it causes motion

There is no heat in outer space really, where gravity is what helps keep objects on course...

no because then why would then moon orbit the earth. Y woodnt the other planets travel around venus.
good thought but u are wrong sry.
