Speed
... Why don’t planets fall? They move around so fast that their speed gives them momentum. Planets don’t fall in toward the sun because they are speeding around their orbits. The sun’s gravity stops them flying off into space. The closer a planet is to the sun the faster it orbits. They orbit in an ell ...
