The question probably means "What keeps the planets in orbit around the Sun?" The answer to that is :
The Sun's gravitational attraction provides the force needed to keep the planets in orbit. This force doesn't pull the planets any closer to the Sun, but it stops the planets moving away (at a tangent to their orbits) due to their own velocities.

What keeps planets in orbit in your solar system?
Well, they are being attracted to the sun, but orbit fast enough that they don't fall into the Sun.
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.
Why do the planets orbit the sun What is the shape of those orbits?
Planets orbit the sun because gravity keeps them from escaping, and momentum keeps them moving forward. The orbits are elliptical, which is like an oval.
What two forces work together to keep the planets in orbit around the sun?
The two forces that work together to keep the planets in orbit around the sun are gravity and inertia.
What keeps us from floating off into the sky and keeps the planets in orbit around the sun?
gravity?
What keeps the planets in orbit about the sun?
The Sun has a powerful gravitational pull. This, combined with the velocities of the planets, keeps the planets in orbit.
