Answer:

As it revolves around a planet

Step-by-step explanation:

Earth has a gravitational force right. Well, they have different types of forces as well including centripetal force. Centripetal acceleration will be experienced by an object or a space probe when it is in a circular motion. This happens when a dark mater revolves around another darkmater in this case earth.
