Gravity, in no small part, is only affected by mass, ie, the mass of each individual atom
that comprises the star. Within each atom, are four forces, strong and weak have
no affect whatsoever outside of the outer nucleus. Electromagnetic force, on the one
hand, expands just outside the entire atom before dimishing almost completely. Add
up all of the atoms and that extra bit of electromagnetic force, and you get one
hell of a push outwards. Gravity counters this outward force but not completely, being
that electromagnetic forces are stronger than gravitational ones, by a magnitude of
about 1000. Therefore, unless something completely knocks the atoms out of whack
and they forget they have an electromagnetic force, no planet will ever hurtle towards
the sun, and it would basically take another planet to even think about moving one
outwards.
