Why do we not get pulled into the sun?

The earth is literally falling towards the sun under its immense gravity. So why don’t we hit the sun and burn up? Fortunately for us, the earth has a lot of sideways momentum. Because of this sideways momentum, the earth is continually falling towards the sun and missing it.

Why dont the planets get sucked i to the sun?

The reason why planets don’t fall into the sun is that they have a balance between the centripetal acceleration () (falling), due to gravity, and the angular acceleration (), which is due to the angular momentum and the centripetal force.

Why don’t they crash into each other or into the sun?

Planets move in well-defined and separate paths, obeying the laws of force and motion as they orbit the sun. Unlike a baseball hit through the air, objects in space don’t encounter air resistance or other types of friction that could slow their motion. So the planets just keep circling the sun.

Can the sun suck the Earth in?

You require a star at least 3 times the size of our sun in order to form a black hole. Even if there was a massive enough star nearby that formed into a black hole strong enough to actually pull Earth out of it’s orbit, we would still be so far from the event horizon that we wouldn’t even get sucked into it.

Does the Earth fall?

Thanks to gravity, the earth does fall. It is actually in a constant state of falling since it is in orbit around the sun. Since gravity, as a force, is caused by mass, it follows that the sun is the centre of our solar system; it is the heaviest thing in it, therefore all of the planets in our solar system orbit it.

What if Earth entered a black hole?

Our atmosphere would start to be vacuumed up. And then huge chunks of the Earth would rip apart and follow suit. If Earth managed to fall into the orbit of the black hole, we’d experience tidal heating. The strong uneven gravitational pull on the Earth would continuously deform the planet.
