Newton realized that gravity keeps bodies in orbit around each other. That's the
only factor that's necessary, which is lucky, because that's the only one that exists.

MOSTLY the first law: Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it. This is not the only reason, there are also more. What happens is that in the case of the Earth orbiting the Sun, the Earth wants to go in a straight line tangent to its orbit at any given moment, but the reason why is goes in a "circle" is because the Sun's gravity is pulling the Earth toward it. The Earth doesn't plummet into the Sun because the balance between the Earth's velocity, the distance from the Earth to the Sun and the strength of the Sun's gravity.Newton's "law" of universal gravitation ... not one of the Big Three ... describesorbital shapes and motion, and generates all three of Kepler's Laws of planetarymotion.

Roughly, the Tycho Brahe model of the solar system was something between the ptolemic geocentric model of the solar system and the copernican heliocentric model. The sun still revolved around the earth but all other planets revolved around the sun. Interestingly, it was Tycho's pupil Kepler, that refined the Copernican model to include elliptical orbits (until then, orbits were assumed to be perfect circles).

The two questions Sir Isaac Newton realized were actually two parts of the same question were............... Why do objects fall towards Earth, and what keeps the planets moving in the sky?
On Earth, an object weighs about 9.8 newton for every kilogram.On Mars, an object weights about 3.7 newton for every kilogram.
No. The geocentric view of the universe, which viewed the Earth as the center of the universe, was challenged by Copernicus in the 1500s. Copernicus realized that the motion of the planets being observed by astronomers could be explained much more simply if the Earth and other planets were all revolving around the sun, rather than the conventional assumption that the planets and the sun were all revolving around the Earth. Issac Newton was born more than 100 years later, by which time Copernicus' ideas were well accepted. One of Newton's great accomplishments was his theory of gravitation, which, among other things, very precisely predicted the orbits of the planets around the sun through the same mathematical equations that describe how objects fall to the ground on Earth. Newton couldn't have made this groundbreaking discovery if he believed in a geocentric view of the universe.
Sure, according to Newton's Third Law, the Moon must also attract the Earth. Actually, saying that the Moon revolves around the Earth is only an approximation. it is more accurate to state that Earth and Moon revolve around the common center of mass.Sure, according to Newton's Third Law, the Moon must also attract the Earth.

Sir Isaac Newton
Newton did not discover gravity. He realized that the same force, gravitational force, that acts on all things here on earth go thru space and act on the moon to keep it in orbit. The same for the planets revolving around the sun.
The legend is that Newton made the connection between the 2 questions when he watched the falling apple ........... Newton realized that the same unbalanced force affected the motions of the apple and the moon.It all has to do with gravity. The moon pulls the waves with the force pulling up or rising the waves, well the apple is brought to the ground with the force or the gravity on Earth.Legend says that Newton, said that the force that made the apple fall from the tree, makes earth fall from the sun and the moon fall from the earth. This force operates throughout the Universe and is a Universal Force..
Gravitational force keeps the earth in orbit around the sun. The theory of gravity was originally proposed by Sir Isaac Newton.
