What makes the planets rotate around the sun?
Planets [revolve] around the sun due to the sun's gravitational force exerted on them.
The solar system was formed by dust clouds that were drawn together by gravity to form planets, and by the sun, which was the densest point in the solar system, the planets were drawn to its massive mass; however, when planets collided with space debris, the planets moved at an angle, tangent to or away from the direction of the force of their attraction to the sun; and because the attraction to the sun was still strong enough, orbitals formed, with the planets orbiting the sun due to centrifugal and centripetal forces (moving in different directions).
This diagram shows the relationship between centripetal and centrifugal forces: https://tutor.hix.ai

The sun's gravitational pull, which keeps the planets in orbit and causes them to travel in an elliptical or circular pattern, combines with the planets' initial velocity to cause them to rotate around the sun.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.

- After the big-bang, tiny black holes may have formed. If one with a mass of #1 x 10^11 kg# (and a radius of only #1 x 10^-16 m#) reached Earth, at what distance from your head would its gravitational pull on you match that of the Earth's?
