Why Doesn't the Earth Crash Into the Sun?

The law of gravity says all things are attracted to each other, yet the earth does not crash into the Sun. Why? Learn the basics of how planets orbit the sun and why they don't crash into each other in this informative video.
This is part 3 in a five-episode series that is brought to you by award-winning teacher Jon Bergmann He creates these videos for his high school science students.

    I realize the earth is falling towards the sun and the earth has enough sideways momentum to keep it from falling into the sun. But isn't there trace atoms (in the void of space) that slows earth down due to resistance, which would cause the earth to, eventually, crash into the sun?

    Aside from the bending of space already having been proven, think of this video and see how the earth is falling in a circle once a year. Space is certainly being bent. Gravity is what causes the bending of space(time). On a separate note, Einstein will for sure be proven wrong one day, since his theory of relativity does not hold up with Quantum Mechanics, at the microscopic level, so somewhere there is a gap that needs filling/adjusting.

    I recently had the thought "why doesn't everything fall into a black hole? Then I thought - if you replaced the sun with a black hole that had an equal mass - then all the planets must then stay in orbit rather than be eaten by the black hole for the same reason we dont fall into the sun. While I understood that, I didn't necessarily know WHY. I figured it had to do with being trapped at a particular place as it falls towards the sun.

But my question is why or how it's(planet) moving in first place ?? To move an object requires energy. . Why is planet moving so fast, and your answer is ,if it slows it will fall into sun. . where is energy coming from ,for this sustainable system ?? Where are planets getting energy from to continue moving so fast?? Sun attracts and bends path while planet is moving ? But something , some energy source has to move the planet or satellite or object in first place. Where is that energy coming from in this sustainable system ????

    The energy which caused the Earth to move is,as I said in my previous reply, from the Big Bang explosion. When it orbits, Sun's gravity is "consumed" by keeping the planet from "getting away" ,rather than by attracting it. In the Universe there is no atmosphere which causes things to slow down like here on Earth. If you were in Space and threw a ball, it will not stop (unless it gets close to a massive object like a planet,star etc.).Likewise,if you were the Big Bang and threw Earth, it will not stop, it will eventually get into the orbit of Sun. Sun's gravity is used so Earth stays on its orbit and not travel further and is "consumed" that way.The Sun cannot therefore bring the Earth closer to itself unless its gravity force increses.

    The space near sun is curved so keeps the earth gravity in orbit around

    With everything moving in space due to their respective initial velocities and the expansion of spacetime, one would think the actual physics equations of planetary motion are much more complicated. Is this true?

    You don't need energy to maintain constant velocity in a vacuum, remember. It will travel on forever. You only require a force to change the acceleration

    newtons 1st law - once an object is in motion it stays in motion. so once the planets are in motion they stay in motion. The only force acting on them is the gravity of the sun. Since they are "flying" through space which is a vacuum, they dont slow down.

    They are captured in the gravitational pull of the earth. They don't orbit because they make a more direct hit in their trajectory. Note that many do orbit and never reach the earth. It is all about the direction when they encounter the gravitational pull of the earth.

    Earth's speed V is just a fixed speed, not an acceleration, while the Sun's gravity is an acceleration (G). I thought that the Earth is falling into the Sun, but it's taking billion years to do so (or the opposite) because of the almost perfect balance between V and G. I would like an answer to this in simple terms if possible
