It also highlights the role of gravity in keeping the planets in place and preventing them from flying off into space. The video further mentions that the planets are in constant motion due to the forces of gravity and inertia, which caused them to revolve around the sun in oval-shaped orbits. This video is part of the 9-part series, Earth’s Nearest Neighbors.\n
