How did Newton's Law of Gravity explain why celestial objects stay in orbit?
A combination of the forward motion of the objects and the pulling force of gravity create the rounded orbit shapes
Gravity pushes objects across circular paths by attracting them to ellipses
Newton explained how gravity creates the foci that objects orbit around
Objects need the force of gravity to continue moving in the current orbit directions they were already moving in
