Best Answer

They have been moving since the solar system was formed, when the dust and gasses collected together and formed the sun and planets. There is nothing to stop the motion, since there are no opposing forces in the vacuum of space - no air resistance. To change the speed of a body of system you need an opposing force to act in the opposite direction.
