Einstein revised our idea of planetary orbits in his theory of relativity, which says that planets orbit the sun because of the sun's distortion of space. This distortion causes space to bend. The planets move along this bend. Think of a Bowling ball placed on a mattress. The ball causes a circular dent in the mattress. If you shoot a marble at the ball, the marble will move around the Bowling ball in a circle along the path of the indentation. In the same way, the planets revolve along the indentation the sun makes in space.
