If the force of gravity would suddenly stop acting on the planets, they would all move in straight lines tangential to their current path (meaning, due to their momentum, they would keep moving straight and not keep on being turned and pulled toward the sun). To see an example, take a yo-yo by the string and start spinning it around over your head. When you let go, you will see the object continue in a straight line which is a tangent to the position of the circle it was in while you were holding on to the string.

What will happen to the different planets which are revolving around the sun if there is no gravity?

If there was suddenly no gravity, the planets would continue to move at the same speed in the current direction they are facing in a straight line until a collision occurs. By the way, if gravity suddenly stopped, the laws of physics would suddenly, drastically change, because gravity is one of the four fundamental interactions.


If gravity or inertia stop working what would happen to the earth?

If gravity and Inertia stopped working the planet would fly or float away from he sun and get EXTREMELY cold. And everything will die.

What will happen if planets got out of their orbits?

Planets can't really get out of their orbits because of gravity; if gravity somehow stopped having an effect, the planets would continue in a straight inertial line with inertia from the point at which gravity stopped.
