ABSTRACT: The velocity of the Earth around the Sun and its corresponding mass are used in a standard centripetal force equation to match what Isaac Newton calculated with the Universal Law of Gravitation in 1687. Electromagnetic calculations are used to prove that electromagnetic forces are an insignificant contributor to the centripetal force or gravity, but do provide the bending force for the planets to maintain a circular orbit around the Sun. It is thus proven using classical physics that the force of gravity is a simple centripetal force with a very small electromagnetic force contribution.
