The main factor that prevents the planets in our solar system from floating away is the Sun's gravitational pull. The Sun's massive size and strong gravitational force keeps the planets orbiting around it. Additionally, the planets' gravitational pull on one another also plays a role in keeping them in their orbits. The moon's gravitational pull does not significantly affect the planets in the solar system, but it has a major influence on Earth, causing tides and stabilizing its rotation. However, it is primarily the Sun's gravitational pull that keeps the planets from floating away.
