The video tutorial explores how objects in space, such as Earth, remain in orbit due to gravitational forces. It explains the role of gravitational force and velocity in maintaining orbits, highlighting that the force always points towards the center of the orbit. The tutorial also discusses how gravitational forces keep celestial bodies like planets, moons, and artificial satellites in orbit. It further delves into gravitational field strength, explaining how it depends on the size and density of celestial bodies, using examples of Earth, Venus, Mars, and the moon to illustrate differences in gravitational field strength.
