No, the gravitational force is always one of attraction, unlike electrical forces which can attract and repel depending on positive or negative charges.

What would happen if the planets did not repel the gravitational pull of the sun?
Then we are launched into other places in the universe, there will be no consistency. Your choice of words is inaccurate. Planets do not repel the gravitational pull of the sun, but you could say that they resist it. Their angular momentum keeps them in orbit around the sun. If they were to lose that angular momentum, then they would fall into the sun and burn up completely, leaving nothing behind but super-heated gas.
Why does each planet have different facts?
planets have diffrent facts of other planets because of there size and distance from sun
How does the sun hold the planets in orbit?
The Sun's gravity is trying to pull the planets towards it. But the planets have their own velocities and all the Sun's gravitational attraction is needed to stop the planets moving away from the Sun. The result is that the planets orbit the Sun.
What will happen if planets do not follow their orbit around the sun?
planets will fall to the outer space ,they will collide with each other and they will melt or exploded
Are the sun and the planets attracted to each other?
They have an attraction toward each other but they stay still due to there heavy mass and there speed of high rotation
What from the sun holds the planets in orbit?
The Sun AND its planets attract each other with gravitic force.
Why don't planets attract each other?
because gravity and inertia are kinda of playing a game of tug a war but both sides are equal so they do not move
Why don't planets bump into each other?
because the gravatational pull from the sun and other planets keep the planets going in a circler motion and not bumping into each other.Answerbecause the gravatational pull from the sun and other planets keep the planets going in a circler motion and not bumping into each other. the planets each have defined Elliptical, not circular, orbits that remain constant because of gravitational pull of the sun and from each other. Pluto does have such an elliptical orbit that for a time it was closer than Neptune, but they will never collide with their current paths.
How does gravity between the sun and planets control the path the planets make around the sun?
The sizes of the Sun and planets determine the strength of gravitational pull of the planets on each other and the Sun. The Sun's mass is so great that the planets can't escape from the Sun's pull and so as the planets are moving by the Sun pulls them back into orbit.
What keeps the planets and sun from hitting each other?
gravitational forces

What is the distances between the sun and the other planets in the solar system?
The difference is that the sun is a star, the other planets are just planets
What will happen if planets do not follow their orbit around the sun?
planets will fall to the outer space ,they will collide with each other and they will melt or exploded
What planet has the most planets?
Planets don't have planets. The Sun has planets, and planets have moons.Dwarf planets might orbit around each other, but this answer uses the correct definition of the term planet, which does not include Pluto or Charon.
What is shared by all the planets in the solar system?
The sun, each of the eight planets is in orbit around our sun.
