Sir Isac Newton was the scientist who discovered why the planets stay in orbit.

Nicolaus Copernicus discovered why planets stay in orbit when he found that the planets revolve around the sun. He is credited with starting the Scientific Revolution through this discovery.
The moons stay in orbit around Jupiter due to the gravitational pull of the planet. As of June 2014, Jupiter has 63 known moons.
because the planets' gravity pull them so that they do not go away and the moons revolve around them with a constant speed so they stay in their orbit
The planets stay in orbit because of the gravitational attraction between the individual planets and the sun. Their rotational velocity makes them stay in a stable orbit instead of spiraling into it.
A Gravitational pull by the sun making go around it
Because it does not have too god made it that it would stay still so the planets good orbit around it
Planets have a gravitational pull. It is just strong enough for moons to stay in orbit.
Planets stay in orbit around the sun due to a balance between the gravitational force pulling them towards the sun and their own momentum carrying them forward. This balance allows planets to maintain a stable orbit without being pulled into the sun or flung out into space.
For a planet to stay in it's orbit the forces must be in balance.
Yes, the name may change but the orbit around the sun doesn't
