If objects with a greater mass have greater gravitational pull, why is our solar
system, Sun, planets and asteroids, NOT pulled into Alpha Centauri A?
According to classical mechanics, gravitational pull is inversely proportional to the distance squared; as the distance increases, the gravitational pull decreases at a faster and faster rate. Since Alpha Centauri A is a few lightyears (Tens of trillions of kilometers away), without even needing to calculate the force of gravity, it is very miniscule.
