Because they're moving too fast in the tangential direction. As they fall towards the sun they travel tangentially just enough that they never get too close to the sun.

Do all planets move around the sun or around the earth?
The planets that make part of the solar system move around the Sun. The huge gravity power of the Sun maintain all planets and moons orbiting around it on an elliptical form.
What is the theory by which all planets move around sun?
That is the heliocentric theory.
Why do the planets all stay orbit around the sun and not drift on in an empty space?
Its because the gravitational field of the sun pulls the planets towards the sun and balances the intertia of the planets which make them want to move in a straight line.
What is the path that the sun and the planets move on?
orbit
Which planet does not move in orbit around the sun but is stationary?
None. All eight planets in the Solar System revolve around the sun.
Do all planets move around the sun or around the earth?
The planets that make part of the solar system move around the Sun. The huge gravity power of the Sun maintain all planets and moons orbiting around it on an elliptical form.
Why do all the planets orbit?
Planets orbit around the Sun because of the Sun's gravitational force, it makes the planets move by its gravitational force.
What is the theory by which all planets move around sun?
That is the heliocentric theory.
Does the sun orbit the planets or do the planets orbit the sun?
The planets orbit the Sun. The Sun is at the center of our solar system and does not move.
What do the planets and the sun orbit?
the sun does not move, the planets orbit around the sun idiot.
Why do all the planets orbit the sun?
Not all the planets orbit the sun - other stars have planets too. But all the planets in our solar system, which is the system of our sun, revolve around the sun; otherwise they would be in other solar systems. All the planets we can see with our naked eye orbit the sun, since the planets orbiting the sun are the only ones close enough to earth to see without a telescope.
in which path did all planets move around in which path did all the planets move around?
Each planet moves in its own elliptical orbit round the Sun, then and now.
How is Earth's orbit around the sun similar to the orbits of other planets around the sun?
all orbit according to the sun's gravity- if there was none they would all move in a pretty straight line instead of an orbit Answer: All planets follow eliptical orbits around the sun, and all move in the same direction around the sun.
Do all planets stay in one place or do they revolve in orbit?
The planets turn about their axes (rotate), and move in orbits about the sun (revolve). They are all in dynamic motion all the time. Welcome to the music of the spheres. Planets (all of them) are continually in motion. They all revolve on their axes and move about the sun in their orbits. This is the music of the spheres.
Which planets move around the sun?
They all do, its one of the things that is required for a planet to be a planet, directly orbiting the sun.
Why do the planets all stay orbit around the sun and not drift on in an empty space?
Its because the gravitational field of the sun pulls the planets towards the sun and balances the intertia of the planets which make them want to move in a straight line.
What diriction do planets orbit around the sun?
That depends from what direction you look.As seen from the north - the way it is usually depicted - all planets move clockwise around the Sun.Of course, if you observe from the south, the planets would move counterclockwise around the Sun.
