This is the reason why we do not simply fall into the sun because we are spiraling toward it because of the bending in the fabric of space that creates a 'pocket` or `pucker` where things inevitably desire to fall, but this possibility is resisted by the motion of the star itself. If nothing was moving than gravity would gobble up anything it encountered because it is an actual BENDING of spacetime. @SPrinkZ That was so breathtakingly ignorant, I`m not even going to attempt to correct you. Just go to your local community college and sign up for a course in basic astronomy.
