Gravity, it keeps every plannet alined on it's axle or maybe gods hand can't tell ya for sure

The planets orbit the Sun at different distances and speeds, following gravitational laws that keep them in stable orbits. This prevents them from crashing into each other as they maintain their own paths through space. Additionally, the vast distances between planets create a lot of empty space, reducing the chances of collisions.

What makes the planets not crash into each other?
The planets do not crash into each other because they are in constant motion around the sun due to their gravitational pull. Additionally, the vast distances between planets and the empty space in our solar system prevent collisions from occurring.
Why planets orbite around each other rather than crash due to gravity?
They keep running away from each other.
Do Each of the eight planets share an orbit?
No, each of the eight planets in our solar system orbits the sun on its own path defined by its distance and speed. This unique orbit for each planet is what allows them to maintain their positions and not collide with each other.
What will happen if the planets do not follow their orbits?
If a planet doesn't follow its orbital path, then it may crash into other planets, moons and/or other object floating around in space.
Are the sun and the planets attracted to each other?
Yes, the sun and planets are attracted to each other through the force of gravity. The sun's massive gravity keeps the planets in orbit around it, while the planets also have gravitational effects on each other.

What would happen if there's is no gravity and inertia?
There would be no life because with out the planets and the sun pulling on each other they would spin out of control and possibly crash into each other.

Why don't planets crash?
Each planet stays in it own orbit or path as it circles the sun. The orbits are very very very far apart. the planets never move out of their orbits so they never crash into each other. space probes that go from earth to Venus and Mars our closet neighbor planets have to travel for several months. space probes that go to the farther planets have to travel for years. :) Answer from my first book about space, a question and answer book.<3

What is a small rocky particle that moves through space and most often is about the size of a grain of sand?
A small rocky object that orbits the Sun is an asteroid. The Asteroid Belt, a collection of many asteroids, is located between Mars and Jupiter.
Why don't planets bump into each other?
because the gravatational pull from the sun and other planets keep the planets going in a circler motion and not bumping into each other.Answerbecause the gravatational pull from the sun and other planets keep the planets going in a circler motion and not bumping into each other. the planets each have defined Elliptical, not circular, orbits that remain constant because of gravitational pull of the sun and from each other. Pluto does have such an elliptical orbit that for a time it was closer than Neptune, but they will never collide with their current paths.
Where do planets get energy they need to grow?
Planets do not require energy to grow. Large spacial objects crash into them and they collect. PLANTS on the other hand, they get energy from the sun.
Are the sun and the planets attracted to each other?
Yes, the sun and planets are attracted to each other through the force of gravity. The sun's massive gravity keeps the planets in orbit around it, while the planets also have gravitational effects on each other.
Why does the moon not crash on earth but stay in space and not float away or into earth?
The moon stays in orbit around Earth due to the balance between its forward motion and the gravitational pull of Earth. If it moved too fast, it would escape Earth's gravity; if it moved too slow, it would crash into Earth. This balance allows the moon to remain in a stable orbit.
