How does gravity keep the plants in orbit around the sun?

Gravity is the force that attracts two masses toward each other, and in the case of the solar system, the Sun's massive gravitational pull keeps the planets, including Earth and its plant life, in orbit around it. As planets move through space, they are continuously pulled toward the Sun, but their forward motion creates a balance that results in a stable orbit. This interplay between gravitational attraction and the planets' inertia allows them to maintain their paths around the Sun, enabling conditions for plant life to thrive on Earth.
