Solution

As per the universal law of gravitation, every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force directed along the line of centers for the two objects that is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the separation between the two objects.This gravitational force acting between the earth and the sun is responsible for the revolution of the earth around the sun.
