A Correct answer
Explanation

Earth's gravitational field depends on its own mass, not its position relative to other objects. The Sun doesn't cause Earth's gravity - Earth generates its own gravitational field due to its mass. Moving Earth to an isolated location wouldn't change its gravitational field strength.
