Our solar system mostly revolves around the sun on the same axis (apart from Pluto). Our galaxy does the same (along with other galaxies). Why? Gravity is linear?

Would it matter if we tried to escape the sun’s gravity by going “up?”

    I was explaining why the orbits are similar, not why orbits exist. You’re arguing a different topic.

      The original question was why solar systems and galaxies are in planes, and your explanation is wrong.

      What do you even mean by similar orbits? Most orbits are circular for a totally different reason, and that is tidal interactions.
