How come we are not going towards the sun? Sun gravity is so powerful
that every nature satellite is orbiting around it (with the expection
of smaller satellites like moons). I am wondering how come planets are
not going towards the sun.


I am sure my question may sound bit silly to some people.

Good question. The reason that we are not going toward the Sun, a constant
acceleration force due to gravity, is because we are constantly accelerating
perpendicular to the Sun.

All which implies that things in space constantly accelerate, if they would
just go fast enough.
