The force between the planets that make the planets to revolve in the circular orbits is the gravitational force.

Whereas, the force between the electrons and the nucleus is the electric force that make the electrons to revolve in the orbits around the nucleus.

The electric force is much stronger than the gravitational force.

Thus, force in both the cases are different.

Hence, the given statement is false.
