The sun, because of it's immense size, keeps all of the planets in it's solar system in balance because of the gravitational pull it exerts against all of the surrounding planets rotation and urge to pull away. The result is a perfectly balanced system of rotating planets around the Sun.

∙ 12y agoI'm no expert but I believe the reason is because planets orbit around stars, and the stars of each galaxy orbit around a supermassive black hole at the centre of the galaxy - so in effect everything in the galaxy is spinning around this black hole and each galaxy if made up of material that's been thrown outwards from epicentre of the big bang and as there's nothing to slow it down, it continues be thrust outwards, hence the reason why the galaxies are getting further and further apart.
This in itself does not necessarily explain why planets & stars don't fall through space, but if you imagine the galaxy to be like a frisbee, then it might help visualise why the galaxy can spin and be thrown in a direction without 'falling' through space.
....but I could be wrong :-)

Where on Planet Earth such that gravity fall up rather then fall down?
-- Wherever you are on earth, the force of gravity ... that is, your "weight" ... always pulls in the directiontoward the center of the earth. That's toward the ground between your feet.-- How do we know which way is "down" anyway ? We call "down" the direction in which your weightpulls, the direction in which a stone moves when you drop it. So by definition, whichever way gravitypulls, that's the direction you call "down".
