YES it does.

Planetary motions (orbits) are partly the consequences of the Law of Conservation of Angular Momentum. Simply, the motion of the original "proplyd" or protoplanetary disk, is retained by the planets formed from it.

While "inertia" is often thought of as the tendency of bodies at rest to remain at rest, it can also refer to the tendency of bodies in motion to remain moving in a straight line unless acted upon by a force.

The gravitational force between the Sun and a planet is such a force.

The combination of inertia and gravity causes the planet to orbit the Sun.

The planets orbits are ellipses (Kepler's First Law), so the speed of the planet varies as it moves around the Sun. Here again conservation of angular momentum is involved. In fact,

Kepler's Second Law is a consequence of the conservation of angular momentum.

What role does inertia driving play in the movement of objects in space?

Inertia plays a crucial role in the movement of objects in space by keeping them in motion or at rest unless acted upon by an external force. This means that objects in space will continue moving in a straight line at a constant speed unless a force, like gravity or thrust, changes their motion.

What part does gravity play in the paths of the planets?

Gravity is the force that keeps the planets in their orbits around the sun. It pulls the planets towards the sun, while their forward motion keeps them from falling into it. Gravity also influences the shape and stability of the planets' orbits.
