Why don't planets get pulled into the sun?

Hey there!
This is because the planets have inertia and Sun has gravity.
Every planet has its orbital speed which makes the planet to move in its orbit not going into the sun.
Sun pulls every planet but as inertia they move forward ,also with the gravitational attraction from sun keeps them in their orbit.
The tangential velocity inwards lies nearly zero and outward tangential velocity is also made zero by attraction from Sun. So, Every planet doesn't move towards the sun or go away from its orbit.
Hope My answer is clear to you
