What force is driving the orbits positioning of the planets around the sun

he found that a single forece known as gravity keeps the planets in their orbits around the sun gravity force that keeps planets in their orbits calculus a branch of mathmatics partially developed by Newton and used to explain his laws

Explanation:

I hope you have a nice day and please mark me(:

I believe it is gravity

Explanation:

hope this helps ;)

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.
