Essentially nothing. When the central body is greatly more massive than the object
in orbit around it, (think a planet around a star, or an astronaut space-walking outside
the Shuttle), the orbiting body's mass has no effect on the size or period of its orbit.
The two forces that work together to keep the planets in orbit around the sun are gravity and inertia.
Isaac Newton concluded that the force of gravity and the forward motion of the planets combined to keep them in orbit around the Sun. The force of gravity pulls the planets towards the Sun, while the forward motion of the planets creates the centrifugal force that counteracts gravity, leading to stable orbits.
Gravity and velocity (or inertia), and they aren't things. They're forces.
Gravity and the laws of motion, specifically Newton's laws of motion, work together to keep planets in their orbits around the sun. Gravity from the sun pulls the planets towards it, while the inertia of the planets moving in a straight line causes them to travel in an elliptical orbit around the sun.
No, the solar system is held together by the force of gravity. Gravity is what keeps the planets in orbit around the Sun and the moons in orbit around their host planets. Inertia is the tendency of an object to stay in motion or at rest unless acted upon by an external force.

The object would crash into the planet.
Gravity and inertia
the planets do not orbit the moon but the moon orbits the planets because of gravity and inertia
The sun's gravity is pulling the planets toward it and the planets inertia keeps them moving forward

definetly Gravity and Inertia
Inertia causes celestial bodies in the solar system to continue moving along their current paths unless acted upon by an external force. This is why planets orbit the Sun and moons orbit planets in a stable manner, as their inertia keeps them in motion. Changes in their orbits or paths would require a significant force to overcome their inertia.
Planets are kept in elliptical orbits due to the gravitational force acting between the planet and the sun. This force causes the planet to move in a curved path, resulting in an elliptical orbit. The balance between the planet's inertia and the gravitational force determines the shape of the orbit.
