The force primarily responsible for the existence of the solar system is the
- A. force of friction
- B. gravitational force
- C. electrostatic force
- D. magnetic force
Step-by-step solution
The solar system is held together by the gravitational attraction between the Sun and the planets. Gravity is the dominant force on astronomical scales, responsible for the formation and stability of the solar system. Other forces like friction, electrostatic, and magnetic forces are negligible in comparison.
