Why planets do not fall into the sun?
The phenomenon that the planets do not fall into the sun, because it is controlled by the gravitational pull of the sun and the sideways force or closed trajectory of the planets.
Every planet is constantly falling towards the sun because of the sun's immense gravity, but in conjunction, there always exists a lot of sideways force (centrifugal force) which tends to move the planet (tangentially) away, but the forces somewhat balance out and the planets get "almost circular" orbit.
In simple terms, all the planets are moving, but they don't have the escape velocity to get out of the gravity of the Sun as they have a perfect amount of inward and outward pull.
