Earth rotates on its axis, a large rotating globe could spin in many directions, but earth is held steady by a. two magnetic poles. b. the sun's gravitational pull. c. the moon's gravitational pull. d. the equator.

The correct answer is:

That’s because Earth is a solid mass, while the Sun is a gaseous globe.

The explanation:

when the Earth's geosphere -- the solid part of the Earth made up of the core, the mantle and the crust -- is primarily composed of only four. These four are iron, oxygen, silicon and magnesium. These elements make up more than 90 percent of the Earth's mass.

The Sun is a huge, glowing sphere of hot gas. Most of this gas is hydrogen (about 70%) and helium (about 28%). Carbon, nitrogen and oxygen make up 1.5% and the other 0.5% is made up of small amounts of many other elements such as neon, iron, silicon, magnesium and sulfur.
