उत्तर
A planet moves around the sun in a nearly circular path for which the gravitational force of attraction on the planet by the sun provides the necessary centripetal force required for circular motion.

Assertion & Reasoning
- Assertion: The sum of the clockwise moments is equal to the sum of the anticlockwise moments.
- Reason: The principle of conservation of momentum is valid if the external force on the system is zero.
