Question

In case of planets necessary acceleration is provided by

Answer 1

Answer:

According to Newton's second law, a force is required to produce this acceleration. In the case of an orbiting planet, the force is gravity. The situation is illustrated in Figure 9. The gravitational attraction of the Sun is an inward (centripetal) force acting on Earth
