inertia
gravity
distance
mass
is a force keeps the planets in their continuous orbit around the sun

Explanation:

Gravity is the force that keeps the planets in their continuous orbit around the Sun. According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, every mass attracts every other mass with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers. In the context of the solar system, the Sun's large mass creates a gravitational pull that acts as the centripetal force required to keep the planets in their orbital paths. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion, but it is not a force. Distance and mass are factors related to the gravitational force (as per the formula \(F = G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}\), where \(F\) is the gravitational force, \(G\) is the gravitational constant, \(m_1\) and \(m_2\) are the masses of the two objects, and \(r\) is the distance between their centers), but the specific force that keeps the planets in orbit is gravity.

Gravity
