Answer 1

Answer:

Gravitational

Gravitational attraction provides the centripetal force needed to keep planets in orbit around the Sun and all types of satellite in orbit around the Earth. The Earth's gravity keeps the Moon orbiting us. It keeps changing the direction of the Moon's velocity.

Explanation:

Answer 2

The motion of the moon around the earth is due to the gravitational force.

• The moon revolves around the earth in a curved path.
• And for the motion of any object in a curved path, the presence of the centripetal force is necessary.
• In this case, the centripetal force for the motion of the moon is generated by the gravitational force.
• In the same way, the planets of the solar system, are revolving around the sun.
