Gravity and speed. The mass of the sun is 330,000 times the mass of the Earth, and 1048 times the mass of Jupiter. This prevents the planets from moving away. What prevents them from falling closer to the sun is the speed at which the planets are moving, which is 30 kilometers a second for earth.

Why not gravity? I've always believed that gravity keeps the worlds together, but if you've got a better explanation, I'd like to hear it.
Just a hint though: Starting your sentences with capital letters and ending them with proper punctuation will go a long way toward people taking you seriously.
The simple answer, with the fewest explanations necessary, is gravity. The amount of space displaced by a solar system holds it together. The not-so-simple answer is that gravity is not the only thing that holds systems together; dark matter also often holds a role in holding solar systems and galaxies together.
The gravitational pull of the sun keeps the planets within the solar system.
The counteracting effect of the planet's own velocity keeps the planet from collapsing into the sun and so merely orbiting it.
If you mean what binds a planet together, that's the planet's own gravity.

How big is the spacingsize and movement of the plants?
The solar system consist of the sun and various celestial objects held by the sun's gravity holds together our solar system.gravity is a force that attractive to all objects in the universe.that the greater mass of the objects invold and the directeon is anitclouk wise when viewed from the north pole
what Scientists have explored only a small portion of space. What evidence is there that gravity exists outside of what they have explored?
Gravity is the force that holds our Solar System together. It allows planets and moons to keep their elliptical orbits around the Sun. Even though humans have explored only a small portion of space, we know that our Solar System orbits the center of the much larger Milky Way galaxy. Without gravity, our Solar System would not be able to maintain this orbit.
What force is responsible for the obits of the planets in the solar system?
That would be gravity and inertia.
What can solar fuel do?
I am not that sure on what it can do but i do know that solar fuel comes from the solar system akasun!!! But you can get a solar light for a garden and a solar calculator .Which their energy comes from the sun!!!
What are the advantages of using solar hot water systems?
A solar hot water system uses solar panels to heat the water. Some advantages of using a solar hot water system is it uses renewable energy, and it lowers heating costs.
