No force is necessary to cause orbital motion.
The planets orbit the sun ( roughly the center of
the effective mass of the rest of the universe )
at a special mean orbital radius to conserve total
energy. No force or source of an energy change
is available to the orbiting mass ( if it is not in
contact with another mass ) , so it continues
to orbit at the same radial distance from the
center of the mass of the rest of the effective
universe. With this orbital motion, the mass has
a special kinetic energy because of its velocity,
(( m ( 2 pi L ) ^2 / t^2 )). The mass has a special
potential energy because of its orbital radius,
(( G ( M-m) m / L )). Because its total
energy is constant, following the first law of
thermodynamics ) it must orbit at a radius
where its kinetic and poptential energies are
nearly equal, and a positive change of its
kinetic energy must equal exactly the negative
change of its potential energy. all of the planets
and moons were found to orbit in this manner,
thus confirming the im****tance of the first law
of thermodynamics, as the fundamental
equation to the universe.
