The elliptical shape of each planetary orbit is the result of the adding together the forces of gravity, which tries to move each planet toward the sun, and inertia, which is trying to keep each planet moving in a straight line.

What is the force of attraction that holds atoms?
the force of attraction that holds atoms together is a chemical bond
What holds the earths orbit around the earth?
WHAT HOLDS THE EARTH IN ITS ORBIT REVOLVING AROUND THE SUN?In fact the Earth's orbit is a sort of equilibrium. The Earth's revolutions around the Sun provides it with centripetal force. A force that wants to eject it out of its orbit. That same force that wants to eject you out of your car when you are in a tight bend.However (and fortunately) there exist a strong gravitational force (attracting force) between the Sun and the Earth. It happens that the centripetal force ejecting the Earth is equal and hence balances the gravitational force pulling it towards the earth. As a result the Earth continues its motion around the Sun, undisturbed.As a conclusion, I'll say that what holds the Earth around the Sun it a result of 2 forces acting opposite to each other, namely the centripetal force pulling it away from the Sun and the gravitational force pulling it towards the Sun.
What makes moon revolve?
the earths gravity holds the moon so it orbits the earth.
Force that holds protons and neutrons together?
The: "Strong Force".
What force holds holds atoms together in a compound?
A Chemical Bond
What force is responible for the orbits of the planets in the solar system?
Gravity from the Sun holds the planets in their orbits.
What holes our plants in orbits?
The gravitational attraction from our Sun holds the planets in orbit.
What is the force that hold the planets in orbit around the sun?
It is gravity that holds the planets in their orbits around the sun. Gravity is what gives "shape" to the solar system, to galaxies, and is the large-scale organizer of the universe as a whole.
Which object's gravity holds the planets in their orbits?
The sun's gravity holds the planets in their orbits. It also holds other space objects in their orbits, such as asteroids.
What is the force that holds the air around you?
Gravity :)
What holds the electrons around the necleus?
electromagnetic force
What force holds the planet in their orbits?
The Sun's gravity keeps the planets in their orbits. Without gravity they would all move in their own straight lines, but the central force keeps them curving inwards towards the Sun continuously, while their sideways velocity stops them falling in completely.
What force holds Jupiter in orbit around the sun?
The suns gravity.
Is gravity the force that holds the moon in orbit around the earth?
Gravity
What force holds the electrons around the nucleas?
Electrostatic force betweeen positive nucleus and negatively charged electrons.
What holds the moon in orbit?
the gravitational pull of the planet it orbits
What holds the moon in place?
the gravitational pull of the planet it orbits
