Planets can not stop moving, your question is pointless.

Why do planets keep on orbiting the sun?
They are held by the gravitational pull of the sun. All the planets and things like asteroids and comets are all within the influence of the sun's gravity.Additional answerBut the reason they go on moving is that there is nothing to stop them. On Earth things stop moving because of friction, but in space there is no friction so, according to Newton's 1st Law of Motion which says that a body will continue in its state of motion unless acted on by an external force, the planets just go on.
What are moving stars?
Planets; from 'Planetes,' or 'Wanderers.'
Why do planets have different periods of revolution?
The planets are not all the same distance from the Sun, which determines how far they have to travel, and how fast they are moving. Planets farther from the Sun have much longer orbits and are not moving as quickly. So their period of revolution (year) is longer.
In which direction are planets moving around the sun?
Counter-clockwise.
What holds the moon and planets in place?
Actually, the planets are all constantly moving. They have a gravitational attraction to each other, though.
What happens if the planets stop orbiting the sun?
The planets will fall into the sun and get destroyed.
What happens when a gas reaches its lowest temperature?
The molecules of the gas will stop moving.
What happens to moeecules at absolute 0?
They stop moving (with relation to each other).
What will happen when the core stop moving?
If this happens then the earth's Magnetic field will be lost.
What happens to the molecules if they freeze?
well obviously atoms cant stop moving even at absolute 0. so the molecules will simply slow down but it can never stop moving
What happens when a motorcycle seizes up?
The parts would be rusted and stop it moving. What are you asking?
What happens to particles in matter when you remove thermal energy from them?
They stop moving and stop producing energy.
What happens to motor if too much oil is in it?
the crank shaft whips the oil into a froth… the froth does not lubricate the moving parts… the moving parts try to stop moving… the end
When planets are closer to the sun how are they moving?
They are moving in an elliptical orbit
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 happens when molecules lose energy?
They get colder.
