The Moon orbits around the Earth. ... To keep the Moon moving in that circle--rather than wandering off--the Earth must exert a pull on the Moon, and Newton named that pulling force gravity . ... If it was the same force, then a connection would exist between the way objects fell and the motion of the Moon around Earth, that is, its distance and orbital period. ... Newton went further and proposed that gravity was a "universal" force, and that the Sun's gravity was what held planets in their orbits. ...

. SoHO ( So lar and H eliospheric O bservatory) was launched in December 1995 in an orbit around the first Lagrange point. This is a point directly between the Earth and the Sun where the gravitation forces balance such that SoHO always stays between them. This point is about 1% of the distance to the Sun, about 1,000,000 miles, four times further away than the Moon. The SoHO orbit at the L1 point. Trace ( T ransition R egion A nd C oronal E xploror) was launched in April 1998 on a Pegasus XL rocket.

Comets necessarily obey the same physical laws as every other object. ... If one considers only two bodies -- either the Sun and a planet, or the Sun and a comet -- the smaller body appears to follow an elliptical path or orbit about the Sun, which is at one focus of the ellipse. ... Another quantity that is conserved is called angular momentum. ... Comets simply are bodies which in general have more angular momentum per unit mass than do planets and therefore move in more elongated orbits. ...

Let's try to estimate the magnetic force on the Sun caused by this field. ... Comparing this net charge to the magnitude of the centripetal force on the Sun, we find that electric forces can have a significant role in holding the Sun in its orbit only if the electric field around here is at least of order 10^{15} dynes/esu, or 10^{19} volts per meter. ...
