Why don't planets collide with each other because of gravity?
In the past some planets or protoplanets did collide with each other. Indeed we believe that the Earth/Moon system was created by just such a collision. We can also see comets crashing into planets to this day. However, the solar system is now much more stable and the major planets now orbit the Sun (because of the Sun's gravity), each following their own orbital path. Each orbital path is separated by millions of miles and while the planets' gravities do tug one on another, this is not enough to destabilize the orbits.
What are protoplanets?
Protoplanets are very small planets, about the size of a moon. Astronomers believe these celestial objects are formed during the creation of a solar system.
Which planets are inner planets?
The inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. They are the rocky, solid planets of the solar system. Following them are the gas giants Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Sometimes Uranus and Neptune are called ice giants because while they originated from gaseous materials, they are cold enough to have (probably) an icy or slushy consistency.
