Earth's gravity exerts a centripetal force on the Moon that keeps it moving in a nearly circular orbit.
Answer2:
The planet stays in orbit because of the balance of the centripetal force vp/r and the centrifugal force sDel.mV= -cp/r cos(P). The centrifugal force is the divergence of the Dark Energy cmV=cP.
Dark Energy is the Momentum energy cP, the vector energy. Energy W is a Quaternion , a scalar energy and three vector energies, a Quaternion after William Rowan Hamilton.
The true forces are the derivative of the true energy W = -mGM/r + cP. This is Newton's gravity energy plus the vector energy cP due to the fact that m is moving, mV =P Momentum vector and cp is the vector energy.
The force is the first Derivative
F = XW = [d/dr, Del] [-mGm/r, cP] = [vp/r -cp/r cos(P), -1P cp/r + 1R vp/r + 1L cp/r sin(P)]
When the orbit is stable vp/r = cp/r cos(P) = 0 (Continuity Condition) and vp/r = cp/r cos(P) and
v/c =cos(P).

What force causes planets to orbit the sun in your solar system?
Gravity is the force that connects the solar system to the sun.
What is the main force that keeps planets in orbit around the Sun?
The force of universal gravitation and momentum.
What keeps the planets and sun in orbit?
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.
What force holds the planets in orbit around the sun?
It's the force of gravity which acts on the planets and keeps them in their orbits. Gravity works both ways but the Sun is more massive by far so does not move very much at all. The planets are caused to accelerate towards the Sun by gravity. They move in their orbits with velocities, at any moment, at a tangent to their orbital paths. The result is that they move in a continuous curve around the Sun. If they move slightly closer they speed up, which causes them to move out again, so the orbits are stable. Potential energy and kinetic energy are being exchanged all the time for each planet but the total stays constant.
What causes planets to orbit?
Planets are kept in their orbit by the suns gravity, yet their momentum keeps them from falling into the sun. (Thank goodness!) Planets orbit in the direction their star rotates, so in our solar system, all planets orbit in the direction of the star.
What does gravity have to do with the motion of the planets?
The gravitational force between planets supplies the centripetal force that causes them to orbit each other.
What force keeps planets and moons going in orbits?
The force of gravity causes orbits.
What is the universal force that causes planets to form into that shape?
That would be the gravitic force, or you could say 'the force of gravity'.
What force causes comets to return to the inner planets?
Gravitational pull
Why do all the planets orbit?
Planets orbit around the Sun because of the Sun's gravitational force, it makes the planets move by its gravitational force.
How does gravity affect the relationship between the sun and the planets?
Yes. It keeps the planets in orbit around the Sun.
What force keeps planets around the sun?
Gravity.
What force causes planets to orbit the sun in your solar system?
Gravity is the force that connects the solar system to the sun.
Does force describe mass or acceleration?
Neither. Force causes acceleration of mass. Mathematically, Force = Mass * Acceleration.
What keeps the planets on their path?
The gravity of there star keeps them on path and a planets moon is sun around by its planets gravitational force
Who determined the force that kept planets in orbit?
It was Isaac Newton who figured out that the force of gravity keeps planets in orbit around the sun.
Why do the planets resolve above the sun?
The suns huge gravitational force keeps the planets in an orbit around it.
