How the planets move around the sun?
The sun’s gravity pulls the planet toward the sun, which changes the straight line of direction into a curve. This keeps the planet moving in an orbit around the sun. Because of the sun’s gravitational pull, all the planets in our solar system orbit around it.
Are there planets below Earth?
Technically there are no planets below or above earth. As a planets orbit is circular or elliptical so if any planet is below earth at any point then it will be above when the planet will be in it’s other half of orbit(centre of orbit of our solar system is sun for all planets).
