Can planets fall off there orbit?

Why do the 8 planets keep orbiting the sun?
The 8 planets continue to orbit the sun due to a balance between the sun's gravitational pull and the planets' forward motion, which creates an elliptical orbit. This balance allows the planets to constantly move around the sun in a stable manner.
Why dont planets spin off into deep space?
Planets are held in orbit around stars by gravity. Their rotation is balanced by the gravitational pull of the star, so they remain in a stable orbit without spinning off into deep space. This gravitational force acts as a sort of "tether" that keeps the planets in place.
What does sun orbit around?
The sun, does not orbit anything. Because it is the center of the universe, based off of the heliocentric model. Planets, and satelites(moons) do orbit the sun though.
What are three phases of space shuttle flight?
The phases of space shuttle flight are liftoff, orbit insertion, orbit, re-entry, and landing.
The suns gravitational pull causes the earth and other planets to the sun?
Yes, the sun's gravitational pull is what keeps Earth and the other planets in our solar system in orbit around it. This gravitational force is what maintains the planets' paths and prevents them from moving off into space.
Why planets stay in orbit as they revolve around the sun?
The planets stay in orbit because of the gravitational attraction between the individual planets and the sun. Their rotational velocity makes them stay in a stable orbit instead of spiraling into it.
What is givin off when electrons in an atom fall to a lower orbit?
Energy (in the form of photons) is given off when electrons in an atom fall to a lower energy level.
Why does the earth not fly off into space?
Because the suns orbit holds the earth and all of the other planets in place.
Why do planets orbit the sun rather than fly off into space?
The gravity of the Sun pulls on the planets and keeps them revolving in their orbits. The planets are moving at relatively high velocities (between 5 and 48 kilometers per second) and thereby resist this gravitational pull, and there is comparatively little friction in space to slow them down. (*the Earth is moving at about 30 km/sec in its orbit, which is 67,000 mph!)
Why do planets continue to orbit around the sun?
The force of gravity keeps the planets in their orbits, and without it they would all go off in straight lines into interstellar space.
What effect does the sun's gravity have on the rest of the planets in the solar systems?
That's what's responsible for their staying in orbit, and not flying off.
