The Sun's gravity keeps the Earth (and all the planets) in orbit around it.

Yes, but obviously there's more to it or the planet would go into the Sun. It is

the Earth's orbital velocity ( technically known as its tangential velocity) which,

together with the force of gravity, keeps the Earth 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 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.


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

Does the sun rotate or does it stay in one place?

The Sun rotates on its axis. Other planets rotate around the Sun. It takes 365 days for the Earth to orbit (move around) the Sun.


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.


Why do you orbit around the sun?

We orbit around the sun due to its gravitational pull.
