Arrange the steps in order to model the motion of a planet orbiting the sun. a: the planet continues to move forward due to momentum, while the sun’s gravity pulls the planet back. b: the planet speeds by the sun with a lot of momentum. c: the planet moves along a closed orbital path around the sun. d: the sun and the planet attract each other with their gravitational forces.

D: The Sun and the planet attract each other with their gravitational forces.

B:The planet speeds by the Sun with a lot of momentum.

A: The planet continues to move forward due to momentum, while the Sun’s gravity pulls the planet back.

C: The planet moves along a closed orbital path around the Sun.

Explanation:

There are 8 planets in the solar system which revolve around the sun in an elliptical orbit with sun at one of its focii. The planets are bound in the orbits around the Sun due to gravitational pull.

The Sun being heavier, the planets speeds by it with a lot of momentum. As the planet continues move forward due to momentum, the sun pulls back them due to gravity. Then, the planets move along a closed orbital path around the sun.

i was told this before by a teacher, so yeah
