How does gravity keep the planets in order in the solar system?

Gravity keeps planets in orbit around the sun. If planets were not subject to the gravitational attraction of the sun, they would fly off into interstellar space. In addition, gravity is also what holds planets together. If there were no gravity, the planets, and the sun, would disintegrate under the force of their own spin. There would be nothing left of the solar system but an expanding cloud of gas and dust.

Do interstellar aliens exist?

It isn't completely clear what you mean with "interstellar aliens": aliens on planets surrounding other stars, or aliens capable of interstellar travel? In any case, it is currently unknown whether ANY life exists in other places of the Universe; whether it is aliens capable of interstellar travel, or even just bacteria on other planets. It seems likely, given the huge amount of planets in the Universe, that there is life somewhere else than Earth - but this hasn't been confirmed yet.
