How do planets orbit closest to sun?
it uses gravity. The sun has a gravitational pull, so it keeps the closest planet close to it. the farther away a planet is, the weaker the gravitational pull. Without it the planets would "drift" off from the sun. Plus all the moons wouldn't orbit us anymore. -----CMH
