Answer: Gravitational force.

Explanation :

Planets are constantly moving. The gravity of sun is responsible for this motion which keeps the planets in their orbits. There is no other force present in the solar system which can overcome this force.

There are eight planets in our solar system. The motion of planets in elliptical orbit is due to gravitational force.
