What Force Keeps Planet In Orbit Around The Sun?
The force that keeps planet around the Sun is Gravity. In Newtonian Physics we were led to believe that Gravity is actually a Force which causes Celestial Bodies to suck or exert a force on objects in order to keep them around themselves in stable orbits. However, with the advent of Einstein’s Special and General theory of relativity the concept when applied to gravity, we figured that gravity is actually a property of the Space-Time continuum’s geometry and as massive objects tend to curve the spatiotemporal fabric we experience it as a weak force which causes celestial orbits to exhibit this property. A more massive celestial entity tends to attract the less massive ones around itself and the less massive ones will tend to exert an equal and opposite centrifugal force which causes them to stay in orbits around the Sun.
