Why does earth move around the sun in horizontal circular path not in vertical circular path?
It depends how you look at it. If you turn your head 90 degrees, you will see a vertical circular path. Note that there is no "up" and "down" in outer space; no preferred direction. The horizontal circular path is the way it is usually presented. This is just a convention.

The unbalanced force that causes an object to move in a circular path is called a?

What is the word for a circular path?
