In this paper, the author considers a planar system of Kepler type with radial symmetry and \(T\)-periodic time dependence given by \[ \ddot x+f(t,|x|)\frac{x}{|x|}=0.\tag{1} \] The typical model is \(f(t,r)=\frac{h(t)}{r^\alpha}-e(t)\) with \(\alpha>0\) and \(h(t),e(t)\) \(T\)-periodic functions. The distance to the singularity is ruled by the scalar equation \[ \ddot r+f(t,r)=\frac{\mu^2}{r^3},\tag{2} \] where \(\mu\) is the angular momentum, which is a conserved quantity for each solution. Then, sufficient conditions are provided for the existence and Lyapunov stability of periodic solutions of (2) by using the averaging method and the third order approximation method respectively. Such solutions are called radially stable and correspond to quasiperiodic solutions of the original system (1).
