The centripetal force required by a planet to remain in the orbit around the sun is provided by the gravitational force of attraction between the planet and the sun.
The centripetal force (F) depends on the radius (r) of the planets orbit, mass (m) of the planet and orbital speed (v) of the planet.
F = mv2/r.
In Newtonian mechanics, gravity provides the centripetal force responsible for astronomical orbits.
