Imagine the solar system like a giant game of tug-of-war. The sun pulls on the planets, and the planets pull back, this balance keeps everything in place. If one planet pulled too hard or too fast, it might throw the whole system off track! Think of it like a spinning top: if you tilt it just right, it stays balanced. But if it tilts too much, it falls over.
Examples
- If you suddenly pulled one side of a seesaw too hard, it would tip over, like if the sun suddenly got much heavier.
- A toy car going around a track can stay in place as long as its speed is just right, like planets staying in their orbits.
