The Earth orbits around the sun because the gravitational force that the sun exerts on the Earth:
O A. causes Earth's acceleration toward the sun.
O B. is very small because the sun is so far from the Earth.
O c. is smaller than the force the Earth exerts on the sun.
O D. pushes the Earth away from the sun.
