    What keeps the planets in their consistant orbit?

    Ok, doesn't seem enough power there to move planets, but a guy demonstrated how pulling mass in increases the spin speed, but still don't see how was the dust spinning at the start? Maybe I'll stick to Electro-Magnetism! I wrote this before seeing the previous answer

    What keeps the planets in their consistant orbit?

    Ok I'm a bit closer to understanding it (I'm an Electrical Engineer not a Physicist). I've read the inertia article, so the planets are in inertial motion now yes? So did something have to accelerate them initially?

    What keeps the planets in their consistant orbit?

    I understand how planets are 'held' to keep their shape of orbit, but what force is keeping it pushing forward?
