Q1
Two models are shown for the same Sun–planet system. In Model 1, gravity arrows point from the planet toward the Sun (larger mass), and the planet has a forward velocity arrow along a curved orbit path. In Model 2, the planet has the same forward velocity arrow but no gravity arrows are shown.
Which model best explains a stable orbit (the planet remaining bound to the Sun), and why?
