7 Identify What two motions combine to produce an orbit? __

orbit is produced by the combination of two motions: **inertia** and **gravity**.1. **Inertia**: This is the tendency of an object to move in a straight line at a constant speed unless acted upon by an external force. In the context of an orbit, inertia is what keeps the object moving forward.2. **Gravity**: This is the force that attracts two bodies toward each other. In the case of an orbit, gravity pulls the object toward the larger body (such as a planet or star), causing it to curve around the body instead of moving in a straight line.The balance between these two forces results in the curved path known as an orbit.
