As you know gravity pulls things to it and our sun being 99% of our solar systems mass makes it to where every planet stays in orbit around the sun.

What keep planets stay in orbit around the sun?
Inertia and gravity
What causes all of the planets to rotate around the sun in the same order?
Each planet has an orbit line that makes the planets stay in that spot, unless the orbit is changed
Do the planets that become dwarf planets stay in the same spot?
Yes, the name may change but the orbit around the sun doesn't
What keeps the planets stay in their own orbit?
Gravity - from 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.
Why do the moons stay in orbit around Jupiter?
Any moon is held in orbit by gravity, just as the planets are held in orbit around the sun by gravity.
What kind of planets stay in orbit as they around the sun?
all
What keep planets stay in orbit around the sun?
Inertia and gravity
What early astronomer discovered why 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.
Why planets stay in orbit as they revolve around the sun?
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.
Who explained why planets stay in their orbit?
Sir Isac Newton was the scientist who discovered why the planets stay in orbit.
Why does moons orbit the planets?
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
Who explained why the planets stay in orbit around the sun?
Jordan Grant & Leshonte Missick
How do all the planets stay in orbit around the sun?
A Gravitational pull by the sun making go around it
Why does the sun not have a orbit?
Because it does not have too god made it that it would stay still so the planets good orbit around it
What causes all of the planets to rotate around the sun in the same order?
Each planet has an orbit line that makes the planets stay in that spot, unless the orbit is changed
Why does the moon go around certain planets?
Planets have a gravitational pull. It is just strong enough for moons to stay in orbit.
