Answer 2

The characteristic for which the sun is most responsible for keeping the planets in orbit is,it is located in the center of the solar system. (Option D)

• The sun is situated in the center of the solar system and all the planets are moving along particular orbits around the sun.

• Now,the sun is capable to stabilize the orbits of the planets,due to the presence of the gravitational force of the sun.

• And,the centre location of the sun also helps in application of gravitational force on every planet at the same time, which becomes the reason behind the stable location of the planet into their particular orbits.
