The inward force of the sun on the planets is due to gravity. This force keeps the planets in orbit around the sun and is responsible for maintaining the balance between the inward gravitational force and the outward centrifugal force to keep the planets in motion.

Comment: Yes, but "centrifugal force" isn't quite the right scientific term, of course.

No, centripetal force is an inward force that keeps an object moving in a circular path. It is directed towards the center of the circle or the axis of rotation.
Yes. It keeps the planets in orbit around the Sun.
An inward force can be a centripetal force, which is a force that acts towards the center of a circular path, keeping an object moving in a curved trajectory. Gravitational force can also be considered an inward force when it pulls objects toward each other.
An example of a force is gravity. Gravity is the force that brings objects down to the ground and keeps planets in orbit around the sun.
The Sun and Earth do not collapse due to a balance between two forces: gravity pulling inward and pressure pushing outward. The gravity from the Sun's mass pulls all the matter inward, while the pressure created by nuclear fusion at its core creates an outward force. This balance maintains the Sun's stable size and prevents it from collapsing.
Planets orbit around the Sun because of the Sun's gravitational force, it makes the planets move by its gravitational force.
No they are pulled in to the Sun by the Sun's gravity. Their sideways movement means that this inward pull causes an orbit of the Sun.
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.
Location, location, location. Inner planets = Mars and inward (towards the sun); outer planets = Jupiter and outward (away from the sun).
The Sun AND its planets attract each other with gravitic force.
The gravity of the sun (or whatever object is being orbited) keeps a force pulling the planets inward, allowing them to stay in orbit and not fly off.
Like all other planets and other objects in the solar system, including you, Venus is kept in orbit by the Sun's gravity, which is exacty balanced by its acceleration towards the Sun, which appears as a continuous inward curve towards the Sun.
The Sun.
gravitational force
The force is provided by the Sun's gravitational attraction.
Not all the planets orbit the sun - other stars have planets too. But all the planets in our solar system, which is the system of our sun, revolve around the sun; otherwise they would be in other solar systems. All the planets we can see with our naked eye orbit the sun, since the planets orbiting the sun are the only ones close enough to earth to see without a telescope.
Gravitational force, combined with the velocities of the planets. The force from the Sun is pulling the planets toward it, but the velocity of each planet is acting against this. The result is that the planets orbit the Sun. (The question is a bit mixed up, but it seems obvious what it's about.)
