Question

Why planets orbit their sun in the universe?

Answer

If you were to have looked this up it's fairly an easy law made and created by Newton were he states: "The Sun's gravity pulls on Earth and the other planets within it's gravitational field". He is stating that due to the laws of gravity affecting motion it keeps it in a locked rotation which is usually orbital.

Hope this helps! :D
