The solar system contains the Sun (an average star) and eight planets going round in orbits, and then an unknown number of dwarf planets, asteroids, comets and odd pieces of rock. They also go round in their own orbits.
The force of gravity acts between any pair of masses, and especially between very big masses like the Sun and planets. The planets would all fly off in straight lines if the force of gravity was not there binding them to the Sun all the time, keeping them in their orbits from billions of years in the past to billions of years in the future.
If by magic the Earth was removed, leaving you there on your own, you would continue in the same orbit going round the Sun every 365¼ days, but it would feel as if you were stationary, not moving and not feeling any force. That is because the force of gravity is exactly balanced by acceleration, which is what causes the planets to keep curving towards the Sun all the time.
What else can I help you with?
How does the solar system stay together?
The solar system stays together due to the gravitational force exerted by the Sun. Gravity keeps all the planets, moons, and other objects in orbit around the Sun. It is this balance between the outward force of the planets' motion and the inward force of gravity that maintains the stability of the solar system.
Does the sun use gravity to stay in the middle of the solar system?
In a sense. The planets all orbit the sun because it contains about 99.9% of the mass of the solar system. The sun wobbles somewhat due to the gravity of the planets, but does not move very far.
How does the suns gravitational pull affect your solar system?
The Sun's gravitational pull is what keeps everything orbiting the Sun. Otherwise the Solar System would not stay together. There are other smaller effects. For example the rotation of Mercury on its axis is affected by the Sun's gravity. The Sun's gravity helps to cause the tides on Earth, but the Moon is more important.
Why do the planets in your solar system have the same x-coordinate in a 3d coordinate system?
All the planets stay approximately in one plane - the plane of the ecliptic. So if you have the x-coordinate normal to that plane their x-coordinates will stay small. It is more usual to have the z-coordinate normal to the plane.
Where do asteroids and comets come from?
Asteroids are minor planets, especially those of the Inner Solar System. However, between the orbital paths of Mars and Jupiter lie a region known as the asteroid belt. Many asteroids come from there, but most of them stay there. Short-period comets originate from the Kuiper Belt, just outside the orbit of Neptune, while long-period comets are thought to originate in the Oort cloud.
Why do we stay together and don't spin away or get sucked into the sun?
we stay together by gravitational forces and gravital orbitational circles. our solar system was either started by a solar nebula or meteoroids colliding. our solar system was started4,600 years old.
What keep the member of solar system stay together?
A force called gravity. It also keeps our feet on the ground.
How does the solar system stay together?

It is this balance between the outward force of the planets' motion and the inward force of gravity that maintains the stability of the solar system.
What causes bodies in the solar system to stay in orbit?
Stay in orbit
Where is stay asteroids in solar system?
in the asteroid belt.
Does the sun just stay still in th middle of the solar system then?
Yes everything in the Solar system rotates around the sun.
Is the solar system held together by inertia?
No, the solar system is held together by the force of gravity. Gravity is what keeps the planets in orbit around the Sun and the moons in orbit around their host planets. Inertia is the tendency of an object to stay in motion or at rest unless acted upon by an external force.
How do objects in your solar system stay in their objects?
Gravity is the force which keeps them there.
Why do the planets and the other objects in the solar system stay in their orbits?
The planets and other objects in the solar system stay in their orbits due to the mutual gravitational attraction between each orbiting object and the Sun.
What causes objects in the solar system to stay in orbit?
it is a force called gravity.
What causes the objects in the solar system to stay?
The gravity of all the planets and the alignment of them.
Does the sun use gravity to stay in the middle of the solar system?
In a sense. The planets all orbit the sun because it contains about 99.9% of the mass of the solar system. The sun wobbles somewhat due to the gravity of the planets, but does not move very far.
