They stay there because there is nothing to disturb them. They go round and round, with the gravitational force from the sun exactly balanced by an acceleration directed towards the Sun, but their forward velocities stop them falling into the sun, they only curve a little towards it all the time. After a few billion years everything has settled down into a steady routine.

What causes the plants to stay in orbit around the sun?

Plants remain in orbit around the sun, like all other objects in the solar system, due to the gravitational force exerted by the sun. This force keeps them moving in a circular or elliptical path around the sun. The balance between the gravitational force of the sun and the plants' inertia keeps them in orbit.

What keep planets stay in orbit around the sun?

Planets stay in orbit around the sun due to a balance between the gravitational force pulling them towards the sun and their own momentum carrying them forward. This balance allows planets to maintain a stable orbit without being pulled into the sun or flung out into space.


Why does the sun not have a orbit?

How is the sun able to stay up in the sky?

We're in it's sky, not the sun in ours. And we're in orbit around it.


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.
