Well, they are being attracted to the sun, but orbit fast enough that they don't fall into the Sun.

∙ 10y agoThe force of gravity keeps planets in orbit. I could add that angular momentum prevents them from falling into the sun, so that is also a part of what keeps them in orbit.

What keeps the planets and other objects in the solar system in orbit around the sun?
The gravitational force between the sun and each object in the solar system
What keeps the planets in our solar system in orbit around the Sun?
The Sun's strong gravity keeps all the planets in orbit around it.
What is a result of gravitational forces in the Solar System?
the orbit of planets around the Sun in the Solar systemthe orbit of moons around their planets in the Solar system
The suns gravitational pull causes the earth and other planets to the sun?
All the planets in the solar system are kept in orbit by the gravitational pull of the sun. The effect of the other planets and other bodies in the solar system is to change the shape of the orbits slightly but the sun is what keeps them in orbit around the sun.
Does the sun orbit the planets or do the planets orbit the sun?
The planets orbit the Sun. The Sun is at the center of our solar system and does not move.
What keeps the planets in the solar system in orbit around the sun?
The Sun's strong gravity keeps all the planets in orbit around it.
How does gravity help planets and stars and solar system?
it keeps it in orbit
What is important in the solar system?
the sun because it keeps the planets in orbit and provides heat.
What major force keeps the planets and everything in the solar system in orbit around the sun?
gravity
Does planets orbit around the solar system?
No, they orbit around the Sun. The planets and the Sun are all in our solar system.
What keeps the planets and other objects in the solar system in orbit around the sun?
The gravitational force between the sun and each object in the solar system
What keeps the planets in our solar system in orbit around the Sun?
The Sun's strong gravity keeps all the planets in orbit around it.
What is a result of gravitational forces in the Solar System?
the orbit of planets around the Sun in the Solar systemthe orbit of moons around their planets in the Solar system
What is a result of gravitational forces in the Solar System A.?
the orbit of planets around the Sun in the Solar systemthe orbit of moons around their planets in the Solar system
How do planets stay on orbit?
The gravity of the Sun keeps the planets in their orbits. They stay in their orbits because there is no other force in the Solar System which can stop them.
The suns gravitational pull causes the earth and other planets to the sun?
All the planets in the solar system are kept in orbit by the gravitational pull of the sun. The effect of the other planets and other bodies in the solar system is to change the shape of the orbits slightly but the sun is what keeps them in orbit around the sun.
What role does gravity play in keeping your solar system together?
It keeps the solar system together because without it we would be floating around. :)
