Gravity keeps planets in orbit. It affects the paths that everything in space takes because every object in space has a gravitational pull towards each other.

Gravity causes the motions of planets, stars, and galaxies. It's why the Moon orbits around the Earth, and the Earth orbits around the Sun, and the solar system orbits around the galaxy.
