The planets and other small bodies of the solar system are affected by gravity. But just like the satellites that orbit the Earth, they are rapidly orbiting around the Sun*. This forward speed (their inertia) means that gravity cannot pull them in a straight line into the Sun. Instead, they "fall past" the Sun in orbits that are reasonably stable, encountering little resistance from the near-vacuum of space. As well as having moons (mini-planets of their own), planets are affected by the gravity of other planets, and have established orbits that only change very, very slowly. *The velocity of the planets varies according to the distance at which they orbit, and is a remnant of the rapidly spinning disk of gas and dust from which the Sun and planets were formed. Everything on the Earth is moving at a velocity of 29.783 km/s (107,218 km/h), counterclockwise as seen from the arbitrary terrestrial "north".
This is because the Earth is moving fast enough to cancel out the sun's gravitational pull.
The effect of gravity is to cause the Earth to curve continuously towards the Sun, making it go round in a stable orbit.
Because the planets and other bodies in the solar system have a velocity opposing the suns force of gravity. The net result is that the planets neither escape from the solar system or are taken in by the sun - they end up in orbit around it.
Simply put, the planets are moving too fast. The sun's gravity constantly pulls the planets toward it, but they are moving so fast that by the time they would have hit it they have missed by millions of miles. This is basically how an orbit works.
The planets are constantly pulled toward the sun by gravity, but they are moving "sideways" so fast relative to the sun that they continuously miss the sun by a great distance.
The object would crash into the planet.
rocks and comets are attracted by moons gravity, so they crash
They keep running away from each other.
The object would crash into the planet.
Gravity, it keeps every plannet alined on it's axle or maybe gods hand can't tell ya for sure

Gravity Crash happened in 2009.
They keep running away from each other.
Gravity Crash was created on 2009-11-24.

no
They may happen to cross Earth's orbit, and just crash into it. The gravity of the planets can also help increase the likelihood of a collision.
There would be no life because with out the planets and the sun pulling on each other they would spin out of control and possibly crash into each other.
The moon and other planets and their satellites are held in space by the force of gravity from other planets and satellites. If the moon tried to drift off into space, gravitational forces from the Earth will keep it from floating away. It doesn't crash into the Earth because planets and moons pull AGAINST each other and keep each other from drifting away.* * * * *Only partly true.The moon does not float away because of the action of earth's gravity - whether you view this as a force or a distirtion of space-time in the moon's path.The moon does not crash into the earth, not because of other planets or satellites, but because of the momentum of its orbit around the earth.
Planets have relatively stable orbits. But please note that this doesn't mean they can never crash into one another.
