Earth and other planets stay in orbit around the Sun because of gravity and inertia.The Suns gravitational pull keeps the Earth from floating away.Inertia makes the Earth not go directly into the Sun.

earth and other planet have to stay in orbit becuase the inertia and the gravity.the earth is close to the sun and that makes it go dirrektly to the sun wich involves gravitational pull.

The sun's gavitational pull keeps all the planets in orbit.They also stay in orbit because of interia.Interia helps keep Earth and other planets from going directley into the sun.

The earth stays in orbit around the sun because of gravity and inertia. Gravity helps earth go around the sun and not fly off. Inertia helps earth stay away from the sun.

Earth and the other planets orbit around the sun because of the suns gravitational pull and inertia.The gravitational pull makes the planets stay close to the sun and inertia makes it go in circles around the sun.

the Earth and other planets stay in orbit because of the sun's gravity and because of inertia.

Earth and the other planets stay in orbit around the sun by inertia and the gravity,if their wasen't gravity and inertia all the planets would go directly to the sun and burn.
