first it is not a source it is a force. There are at least two equal and opposite forces that keep an object in an orbit. Gravity and centrifugal force. Gravity is an attraction which is proportional to the product of the two gravitating bodies divided by the square of the distance between them. Without a force to counteract this attraction, the bodies would move toward each other, the distance decreases, the force between them increase and the two bodies will eventually collide. Centrifugal force on the other hand is a force generated by the radial acceleration of a body moving on a curve. Thus as the planet revolved around a star, centrifugal force is generated which is opposite in direction to the gravitational attraction of the planet and the star. Balance is therefore attained and the planet stays in its orbit. This is the same thing that happens between a star and the core of the galaxy where it is located. The star and its planetary complement revolve around the core of the galaxy and the centrifugal force generated by the revolution counteracts the attraction of the galactic core and the star, hence balance is maintained.
The Sun has a massive gravitational pull, it is strong enough to hold the planets in their place while they orbit it.
Gravitation keeps the planets from being pulled into the Sun.
The Sun's gravity keeps the planets orbiting the Sun.
Gravity. If you want to know why you should look up Newton's laws of gravity all three of them.
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.
Gravity keeps the planets together
gravity
Planets move away by gravity not holding it together and also gravity holds planets together
Gravity
Gravity, inertia, and gravitational force.
Gravity 0__0 you are dumb
the gravity of the sun pulls them in a circular motion.
The Sun has a massive gravitational pull, it is strong enough to hold the planets in their place while they orbit it.
That force is called gravity.
Because of Gravity or Because their gravitational pull towards the other planets or sun keeps it in one place.
The gravitational force exerted on the planets by the Sun keeps them in place and out of a collision course.
The force that keeps all of our planets in rotation is gravity.
