all objects in this universe are attracted towards each other and we call that force of attraction gravity. just imagine there are two balls in your hands, one big and other one small. the big ball is earth while the small one is moon. now join both with a piece of thread such that the two balls can be separated from each other only by cutting the thread. now come out of your imaginative world and accept that in real life also the moon and earth are joined to each other not by apiece of thread but by centripetal force if this force is removed both earth and moon will fly off in a line tangent to their circular path.
now i hope you have understood this concept.
Without the centripetal force, the planet would continue in a straight line. The centripetal force changes the direction of the planet; thus, it goes around the Sun in an elipse.

Every member of the solar system is kept in solar orbit by a centripetal
force, which is the force of gravity between the sun and the object.

Centripetal force makes a satellite orbit a body.
The centripetal force is equal to the gravitational force when a particular body is in a circle. For a body that is in an orbit, the gravitational force is equivalent to the centripetal force.
The question probably means "What keeps the planets in orbit around the Sun?" The answer to that is : The Sun's gravitational attraction provides the force needed to keep the planets in orbit. This force doesn't pull the planets any closer to the Sun, but it stops the planets moving away (at a tangent to their orbits) due to their own velocities.
Gravity provides a centripetal force on the Moon, helping it stay in orbit around Earth. TRUE!!! -iRLANDA♥
NATURE
Centripetal Force.That force is, of course, supplied by gravitional force.
The gravitational force between planets supplies the centripetal force that causes them to orbit each other.
The gravitational attraction by the Sun.
both are planets and are orbit with centripetal force. think about the atmospheres. They orbit around one another.
Yes. It keeps the planets in orbit around the Sun.
Centripetal force makes a satellite orbit a body.
The centripetal force is equal to the gravitational force when a particular body is in a circle. For a body that is in an orbit, the gravitational force is equivalent to the centripetal force.
Centripetal force is a force that makes a body follow a curved path. An example of centripetal force is gravity making something in space orbit Earth. Mud flying in circles from a tire going down the road is centripetal force.
centripetal force is the object moving in a circular orbit, speed is just how fast it does it
Centripetal force is the resultant force acting towards the centre of orbit of an object undergoing uniform circular motion.
Centrifugal force doesn't exist, and there is no outward force acting on planets. The only force on them is the 'centripetal' one ... the gravitational force between each planet and the sun, that attracts the planet in the direction toward the sun. That's the only force required to keep a planet in orbit ... which is lucky, because it's the only force there is.
