The force that pulls objects into a circular path is called CENTRIPETAL FORCE.
gravity
For circular movement, you need a force that pulls an object towards the center of the motion. This is a consequence of Newton's Second Law, since circular movement implies acceleration towards the center.
Gravity
Centripetal ("towards the center") force is a real force, that pulls something towards the center during a circular movement. Centrifugal ("center-fleeing") force is a ficticious force, required to explain the observed reactions in a rotating frame of reference.
Centripetal force
No. Centripetal force is a real force that pulls objects towards the center of the circular motion. Centrifugal force is a ficticious force that seems to pull an object towards the outside.

The force that pulls an object toward earth also pulls the earth toward the object.The two forces are equal. Together, we refer to them as the force of gravity.Isaac Newton developed this concept.Gravity. The Earth has more mass than the object, it pulls it towards its' center.
A centripetal force is a force that pulls something, that is moving in a circle, towards the center - in other words, keeping it in circular motion.

The force of mutual gravitational attraction between the earth and any other object pulls the object toward the center of the earth, and pulls the earth toward the center of the object. Both pulls have equal strength.
