- Inertia
- Motion
- Gravity
- None of these
Hint:
The inertia helps the planet to orbit in a straight line.
The correct answer is: Inertia

- Gravity attracts the planet toward the sun and the inertia maintains the planets away from the sun at a distinct distance in a straight line.
- As inertia and gravity work together the planets orbit in a circular path.
