The object is moving forward at high speed and tends to travel in a straight line. But the gravitational pull of the Sun causes it to accelerate towards the Sun. The combined effect is that the object's path bends sideways, continuously.

An object is kept in orbit by?
Gravity.
What is an object kept in orbit by?
An object kept in orbit is typically influenced by the gravitational pull of a larger object, such as a planet or a star. The object's velocity and direction must also be balanced to prevent it from either falling into the larger object or flying off into space.
What object keeps Saturn in orbit?
Saturn is kept in orbit by the gravitational pull of the Sun. This force acts as a centripetal force, keeping Saturn in its elliptical path around the Sun.
The plants are kept in orbit by the sun's blank?
The planets are kept in orbit by the Suns gravity.
The path an object takes around another object is called an?
This is an orbit.
A object orbit another another is a what?
a object orbit another object is called a what?
What two motions keep an object in orbit?
An orbit is made possible by an equilibrium, or balance, of forces. Typically, this involves two forces: one of gravitational attraction between the objects and another caused by centripetal acceleration. At a given radius of orbit, a velocity can be found such that these two forces are equal, keeping the object in orbit.
What is the path of one object circling another?

Do moons and asteroids orbit the sun?
Asteroids orbit the sun. Moons orbit planets and planets orbit the sun. So you could say the moons orbit the sun. However, moons are kept in their orbits by the gravity of their planet and planets are kept in orbit by the gravity of the sun. So in that sense, moons do not orbit the sun.
How are planet's kept in orbit?
planets are in orbit because of the suns gravitational field chupa naman diyan Planets are kept in their orbits by gravitational forces.
What keeps objects in orbit in our solar system?
Gravity combined with the object's "sideways" (tangential to its orbit) motion. The Sun "wants" to pull the object towards it and the object "wants" to fly of into space. When these two things are balanced the object is in a stable orbit.
Why does an object in orbit needs a centripetal force act?
An object in orbit needs a centripetal force to keep it moving in a circular path. Gravity provides this centripetal force, pulling the object towards the center of the orbit. Without this force, the object would continue in a straight line tangent to the orbit.
