Question
practice it! in our solar system, planets and other objects orbit the sun. while natural satellites like the moon orbit earth. which set of forces are responsible for celestial objects orbiting other celestial objects gravity and magnetism gravity and inertia push and pull mass and distance
Gravity attracts celestial objects towards each other, and inertia is the tendency of an object to keep moving in a straight - line. The balance between gravity pulling an object towards another and inertia making it move forward results in orbits. Magnetism is not the main force in orbital motion. Push and pull are too general terms and not the specific forces for orbits. Mass and distance affect gravity but are not forces themselves.
