direction of gravitational  pull of the Sun on the planet

Explanation:

A planet orbiting or revolving around the sun due to gravitational  force of the Sun on the planet which attracts the planet and compel the planets to move in a circular path. If this force of gravity is not applied on the planets, the planets will move in a straight line instead of circular direction so gravitational  pull of the Sun on the planet is very necessary for moving planets in a circular path.
