Revolution When an object goes around another
object Earth revolves around the sun once every
365 1/4 days. That is one year.

Orbit The path an object takes around another
object Earth’s orbit is an ellipse.

Inertia
An object in motion will stay in motion unless acted on by a force.
This is why we wear seatbelts. Baseball in space

gravity The force of attraction between two
objects. Affected by mass and distance

Gravity and Inertia Inertia is what keeps the planets moving
in space. Gravity is what keeps them moving
around the sun.
