Why aren't the planets falling on the Sun?
Most of us are aware that the Sun contains
99% of the total solar system mass and everything in it revolves around the Sun.
Based on the law of universal gravitation,
all bodies are attracted to each other: such as the Sun and Earth, the gravitational force is about 3.35×10^22N. And at first glance, with such a huge force, the bodies would have to come closer to each other, or rather, our planet would have to fall on the Sun.
As well as planets do not fall into the sun because they are moving too fast in the tangential direction. As they fall toward the sun they travel tangentially just enough that they never get very close to the sun. They fall around it, in effect
