Why don t the planets fall into the sun or fly into space?
The gravity of the Sun keeps the planets in their orbits. They stay in their orbits because there is no other force in the Solar System which can stop them.
Why do the planets not crash into each other?
Planets can’t be in just any orbit, they have to be far enough apart so that they don’t hit each other, and aren’t drawn into collision by gravity.
Why doesn’t the Earth and the other planets fall into the sun?
The earth is literally falling towards the sun under its immense gravity. So why don’t we hit the sun and burn up? Fortunately for us, the earth has a lot of sideways momentum. Because of this sideways momentum, the earth is continually falling towards the sun and missing it.
Why does the moon not crash into Earth?
Without having the force of Gravity from earth-moon would have just floated away from us. The moon’s velocity and distance from Earth allow it to make a perfect balance between fall and escape. That’s why the moon doesn’t fall on Earth.
What would happen if all the planets crashed together?
The atmospheres of both planets would be compressed together and glow brightly. It would get so hot that everything on the side of the Earth about to get hit would instantly vaporize. For the rest of the Earth, the ground would become scorching magma. The collision would cause friction between the two planets.
Why don’t the other planets fall into each other?
Accordingly, the other planets also move as far away from the Earth as they move towards it, and so their orbits are stable around the sun as well as around each other. Meanwhile if they were stationary relative to each other, then their gravity would cause them to “fall,” or crash into each other.
Will the large planets in our Solar System Crash into each other?
All of the large planets have settled into stable orbits that don’t interfere with each other, after getting through that first 20 million years of chaos, so it’s very unlikely that the large planets in our solar system will crash into each other until the dynamics of our solar system change.

Why do stars have no gravity when they fall?
That’s why they “feel” no gravity in the same way that you feel no gravity when you are falling. It’s the same situation as the planets around the Sun. They are moving perpendicular to the direction of the Sun, so instead of moving directly towards the Sun, their path is deflected (just like the rock’s path).
Why doesn’t the Earth fall into the galactic core?
That’s how satellites and the Moon does not fall down on the Earth. That’s how the Earth does not fall into the Sun. That’s how the Sun does not fall into the galactic core. They all go so fast that they miss and come around the other side.
