Uranus getting 1/400 the gravity that earth does is a good example. And the speed Uranus is moving relative to the sun is not much slower than the speed the earth is moving relative to the sun. Yes, the sun is surprisingly big indeed, so I can appreciate the reminder, but I’m not entirely sure it’s relevant here how big the sun is relative to the planets? The surprise I’m talking about comes from the ratio of the sun’s radius to the radius of the orbit, and that applies to an orbiting mass of any size, from Halley’s Comet to Jupiter. What seems surprising to me is not that the sun is large, it’s that it can attract and keep in orbit something that is at a distance 10,000 times it’s radius (that’s Pluto’s aphelion). The distances between the sun & planets is so much mind-bogglingly larger than the sun that when you see the scale of the sun in context, when you compare the size of the sun to the distance between the sun and the earth, the sun looks incredibly tiny... so tiny that it’s hard to imagine how the gravitational influence is keeping the earth in orbit, especially when thinking about the inverse square law.
