The large distance of the planets from the sun helps prevent the gravity of the sun from pulling all of the planets towards it. Additionally, the size and shape of the planets around the sun also play a role in maintaining their orbit. The sun's gravity is strong, but not strong enough to overcome the planets' speed as they orbit the sun. Therefore, the combination of these factors prevents the planets from being pulled directly into the sun.
