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.

How do the planets orbit around the planet?
Planets orbit the sun in a counter clockwise motion, due to the balance between the Sun's gravity and the gravity of each individual planet.
Is there gravity in a vaccum?
yes, since the sun has the planets orbiting around it, and there is a vacuum in between, that proves it.
How does gravity help to form planets?
the planets were formed by gravity because starts had gravity around them witch caused them to become bigger and be planets i think.. idk

Are the planets like moons to the sun?
The planets are satellites of the sun. The moons are satellites of the planets. The moons revolve around the planets captured by their gravity, while the planets revolve around the sun captured by its gravity and the sun.
How does gravity help the planets orbit?

Why are the dwarf planets round?
