Inertia. Newton's fist law states that an object that is moving will keep moving until somethings slows it down. Since there is virtually no friction in space, nothing causes the planets to slow down, so they continue to orbit.
There's a "balance" among all planets relatively to the mass of the Sun. Bigger mass attracts smaller mass. What keeps a planet orbiting around the Sun, is the "needing" of maintaining that "balance", so the only way the planets have to keep the solar system in accordance to the difference of masses and consequent difference of power gravity, is by orbiting around the Sun. This movement of all planets and moons compensates the difference of mass and power gravity among them.
Gravity combined with a planet's motion (tangential to its orbit).
The Sun's Gravity.
Gravity.

The Sun's strong gravity keeps all the planets in orbit around it.
The two forces that work together to keep the planets in orbit around the sun are gravity and inertia.
gravity?
The sun's gravity keeps the earth and the other planets in orbit around it
The force of universal gravitation and momentum.
The Sun's strong gravity keeps all the planets in orbit around it.
The Sun's strong gravity keeps all the planets in orbit around it.
Gravity.
Gravity.
Yeah
The Sun has a powerful gravitational pull. This, combined with the velocities of the planets, keeps the planets in orbit.
The pull of the Sun's gravity.
Because the Sun's gravitational pull keeps them in orbit.
The two forces that work together to keep the planets in orbit around the sun are gravity and inertia.
The gravitational attraction by the Sun.
The suns huge gravitational force keeps the planets in an orbit around it.
