The popular story is that Isaac newton, after watching the fall of an apple, postulated that the same force that caused the apple to fall perpendicular to the earth's surface could, if it were to exert an influence far enough out from the planet, hold the moon in its orbit. From this specific case, he then expanded his theory to encompass the reason planets were kept in their orbits around the sun.
Isaac Newton with his theory of gravity is probably the answer. But even he couldn't really explain the "nature" of gravity.
Isaac Newton discovered the nature of gravity when he described how to calculate the force from the two masses and their distance. Before that the concepts of force and mass had to be defined, and Galilelo played an important part in that.
The person who "discovered" gravity was Sir Isac Newton, and he pulled it all together regarding the gravity of the sun and the planetary orbits.

The suns huge gravitational force keeps the planets in an orbit around it. Mass is related to gravity, the more mass the bigger the gravity. The suns mass is huge compared with the planets, so the sun has a large and influential gravitational field.
Nicolaus Copernicus, from Poland came up with the theory. It was then the work of mainly Kepler Galileo and Newton that proved the theory was probably correct. So, no single person "discovered" this.

Sir Isaac Newton
newton
Italian scientist Galileo Galilei (1564 - 1642).
Gravity, wind, heat and water are four main forces of nature.
Satellites Moons Asteroids depending on the nature of the question
there are three types of people in this world: people who can count people who cannot count --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Actually there are four basic forces in nature Gravitational force which is the weakest Electromagnetic forces Nuclear force weak part And nuclear force strong part. This is the strongest of all the four.
The planets don't have to "do anything" to "go into" retrograde motion. The retrograde motion, the "moving backward" that planets do as we watch them cross the night sky over the weeks, is due to the nature of the orbit of a planet and to our view of that orbit from earth.

1. Nature of the Planets
forces exist in nature
THEY CONTRIBUTE with nature.
The duration of Forces of Nature is 1.75 hours.
They "shape" the universe into being what it is. (Change any of them and we would no longer exist. Not just us, but the stars and planets would be gone.)
Forces of Nature - album - was created in 1999.
