When we throw a big Stone in air It will Fall Back on Earth.
Simmilarly For Sun Earth is just a piece of Rock? Who do this big rock
Earth Fall onto the Sun Just like the Stones which we throw in air
just come back and hit the Earth?

Simmilarly why not the Moon fall on Earth by the Gravity attration?

Why are the planets revolving round the sun for so many years instead
of just falling onto the Sun?

When we visit Moon on a Rocket Our Rocket Just Falls on Surface of
moon So why these heavenly bodies not falling on Bigger one?

This is a deep question. It goes right to the heart of why gravity
and space behave the way they do. As posted above, Newton and
Einstein have given us mathematical models of *how* gravity and space
behave but not *why*. The only answer that comes to mind is the
anthromorphic principle, which seems to me to be not quite satisfying.

How would an anthromorphic principle helps here?

Do you need to know why to send a sat in orbit?

From Wikipedia "In physics and cosmology, the anthropic principle
states that humans should take into account the constraints that human
existence as observers imposes on the sort of universe that could be
observed. In other words, the only universe we can see is one that
supports life. If it were a different type of universe, we would not
exist to see it."

No, although the people fronting the money might need to know why.

* *Given the way the universe is the why is pretty well answered by GTR.


But isn't that just what Sanny is questioning? Why is the Universe the
way it is?
GTR looks like how; it spells out the rules, why are those the rules
instead of some other rules.

Maybe the rules are the only possible rules for any Universe, but
that's certainly never been conclusively established.

Default Tiny gravitational fields are unfamiliar and hard to measure precisely.

We're familiar with systems like billiard-balls,
but each ball has its own ( tiny ) gravitational field.

Because the object's field is tiny, invisible and unblockable,
it's very foreign to us humans; nevertheless, it's intrinsic to nature,
more real than real ( so to speak ).

For example, we could toss the IPK ( International Prototype Kilogram )
into the trash if we could measure its gravitational field
precisely ( and consistently ).

The NIST in Colorado is hoping to do just that by
using a high-precision absolute gravimeter ( accelerometer )
and an ultra-precise weighing ( a Watt balance, in a vacuum ).
