Answer:

Gravity

Step-by-step explanation:

Gravity keeps things together. Think of it in 2 ways:

1.Without gravity, an Earth-orbiting satellite would go off into space along a straight line. With gravity, it is pulled back toward Earth.

2.Gravity keeps the earth round, pushing it on all sides, which is what gives it its round shape.

Hope it helps!! =D
