A video shows the objects in the solar system orbiting the sun. Why do objects orbit the sun?(1 point)

The sun is releasing heat and pushing objects away.

The sun is so massive that it has the most gravity.

The sun is moving so quickly that other objects move around it.

The sun is so bright that objects are forced away.

The gravitational force between two masses is
F = G M1 m / d^2
G is a constant depending on units
d is the distance between
if M1 is Ms, the sun mass and m is m earth
F = G Ms m/d^2
the other half of the reasoning is that the Force = mass * centripetal acceleration
F = m v^2/d
so for Ms and m earth
v^2 = G Ms /d for v earth
of course you could say use the same equation for the sun spinning around the earth
but you would get
F = Ms Vs^2/d
with the same F/d but Ms is gigantic so the Vs is tiny and the motion is earth not sun
