I will never understand how planets hang in the air

Looking at that picture of Jupiter, what holds it up. What stops it from falling down. 🤔😄

Nothing.

It’s falling, exactly like the Earth is falling towards the Sun.

The Sun is falling towards the centre of the Milky Way

The Milky Way is falling towards the ?Andromeda galaxy? (I think it is)

Of course, ‘falling’ is misleading... there’s no up and no down
