Eli5 Who do all the planet not eventually get sucked into the sun?
In: Physics
A long time ago, lots of stuff did get sucked into the sun. The remaining planets are just the ones who were too fast to get sucked in, but not fast enough to completely escape. If they were to slow down, then yes they’d get sucked in, but there’s no friction in space so how would they ever slow down?
