gravity and force
The two forces that work together to keep the planets in orbit around the sun are gravity and inertia.
the forces holding every thing toghter is gravity
Well it is orbiting and it is caused by gravity, centripetal and centrifugal forces
This is an orbit.
the orbit of planets around the Sun in the Solar systemthe orbit of moons around their planets in the Solar system
the orbit of planets around the Sun in the Solar systemthe orbit of moons around their planets in the Solar system
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.
Any two masses in free space can orbit each other because of the equal, mutual forces of gravitation between them that try to pull them together. Bodies stay in orbit around other bodies because that's how gravity works.
gravity and inertia
Gravity is the force that pulls matter together. The gravitational pull is how the moons stay in orbit around a planet.
Gravity is the force that holds a planet in orbit around the sun. Inertia keeps the planets spinning.
The circular path is known as an orbit.
