When the moon orbits earth, what is the centripetal force ?

If there were no force of gravity then the moon would tend to travel in a straight line. With gravity providing a centripetal force, that path is curved towards the Earth, resulting in a roughly circular orbit. In essence the moon is in continuous freefall towards the Earth.

Explanation:

The source for the centripetal force in the solar system is the gravitational force of the sun.

a force that acts on a body moving in a circular path and is directed toward the center around which the body is moving
