The laws of physics determine the movements of the planets and other bodies in the solar system.

The moving planets tend to move in a straight line but the gravity of the sun pulls them inwards resulting in circular orbital movements around the sun. Since their is no significant friction or other forces t make the planets slow down, their speed is constant and solar gravity is constant, we can predict the motion of the planets with the right mathematical calculations.
