Orbital momentum (or inertia) keeps the planets moving per Newton's First Law; gravitational pull from the Sun causes the orbit to assume an elliptically-shaped path. If effect, they constantly fall (accelerate) towards the Sun but constantly miss it.
An explanation appealing to general relativity might assert that gravitation in an effect in which mass curves spacetime, and that planets only travel in straight lines (geodesics) through curved space.
What else can I help you with?
A force that keeps planets in orbit?
The force that keeps planets in orbit is gravity. Gravity is the attractive force that exists between two masses, such as a planet and a star, that causes them to be drawn towards each other. In the case of planets orbiting a star, gravity keeps the planets in their elliptical paths around the star.
What force keeps planets around the sun?
Gravity.
What keeps all of the planets in its orbit?
The gravitational force exerted by the Sun keeps all the planets in their orbits. This force balances the planets' tendency to move in a straight line and keeps them moving in elliptical orbits around the Sun.
What is the name of force keeps the sun and planets in their places.?
Gravity
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.
How does gravity impact the moon?

What force keeps the planets in rotation?
The force that keeps all of our planets in rotation is gravity.
What is the force that keeps the planets in order?
The force of gravity.
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
Is there supposed to be 8 planets that orbet the sun?
Apparently so, because that's how it is.
