The planets maintain their orbit around the sun because of the gravitational attraction between the sun and the planet. All massive objects have an attraction to each other (the force is proportional to the product of the two masses divided by the square of the distance between them). Planets in orbit are in balance between the law of momentum which makes them tend to go in straight line and the gravitational law which makes then tend to accelerate into the sun.
The Sun's gravity is trying to pull the planets towards it. But the planets have their own velocities and all the Sun's gravitational attraction is needed to stop the planets moving away from the Sun. The result is that the planets orbit the Sun.
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.
Centripetal force, which keeps planets in orbit around the sun, does not require physical supplies but rather results from the gravitational attraction between the sun and the planets. This force is generated by the mass of the sun and the planets, along with their velocities. The balance between gravitational pull (centripetal force) and the planets' inertia allows them to maintain stable orbits. Essentially, the energy and mass of celestial bodies are the "supplies" that facilitate this gravitational interaction.
The gravitational attraction, between the Sun and the planet.
Planets orbit around the sun due to gravitational attraction. The sun's gravitational pull keeps the planets in their orbits, while the planets also exert a gravitational force on the sun, causing it to wobble slightly. The sun provides the heat and light necessary for the planets to sustain life.
The electrostatic force of attraction between electrons and nucleus was likened to the gravitational force of attraction between the revolving planets and the Sun.
The gravitational attraction by the Sun.
The gravitational attraction from our Sun holds the planets in orbit.
Planets orbit the Sun due to the gravitational pull between them. This gravitational force keeps the planets in their elliptical paths around the Sun. It is a balance between the planets' inertia wanting to move forward and the Sun's gravitational force pulling them inward.
The planets maintain their orbit around the sun because of the gravitational attraction between the sun and the planet. All massive objects have an attraction to each other (the force is proportional to the product of the two masses divided by the square of the distance between them). Planets in orbit are in balance between the law of momentum which makes them tend to go in straight line and the gravitational law which makes then tend to accelerate into the sun.
The forces of attraction between the sun and each planet are gravitational forces, and they're both centripetal forces.
The force is provided by the Sun's gravitational attraction.
The Sun's strong gravity keeps all the planets in orbit around it.
The gravitational attraction of the Sun (or more correctly, the mutual attraction between the Sun and the Earth) causes the Earth and other planets to orbit - this is the obvious indicator of the Suns gravity on Earth. Although the gravitational attraction between bodies decreases with distance, the gravity from the sun technically 'reaches' everywhere in the universe, as gravity never diminishes to the point of vanishing completely.
The Sun's gravity is trying to pull the planets towards it. But the planets have their own velocities and all the Sun's gravitational attraction is needed to stop the planets moving away from the Sun. The result is that the planets orbit the Sun.
