Gravity

Orbital Motion

[1] - [2] - [3] - [4] - [5]

Consider a star and a planet...

The star pulls the planet inwards by the force of gravity.

The planet's forward motion tends to take it away from the star.

As a result, the planet orbits the star.

The planet's gravity also pulls the star, causing it to wobble.
