Yes. In our solar system the planets orbit the sun. The process of orbiting is a process of falling towards the sun, but their sideways speed is such that they continually miss (and thus end up going round) the Sun.
So, yes planets can and do fall but they do not fall intothe sun. Thus from our viewpoint they do not appear to be falling.
