Question
- what is the force that keeps the planets moving around the sun and keeps the planets round?
Brief Explanations
This force acts as the centripetal force that maintains planets' orbital motion around the Sun by pulling them toward the Sun, preventing them from moving in a straight line. It also pulls all the mass of a planet inward equally from all directions, shaping the planet into a spherical (round) form as gravity pulls matter toward the planet's center of mass.
