Identify one force that keeps earth in orbit around the sun?
Gravitational force keeps the earth in orbit around the sun. The theory of gravity was originally proposed by Sir Isaac Newton.
What force keeps the earth moving in this path?
It is the centripetal force of the sun that's keeping the earth moving in its path
Is Gravity is example of a centripetal force?
It can be. A centripetal force is not fundamental (such as gravity), it is the generic name given to a force that keeps objects moving in orbits (or circles). In the case of the Sun and the Earth, gravity is the centripetal force that keeps the Earth in orbit around the Sun.
