The sun, the moon, and all of the major planets are connected in one very specific way: all their orbits are fairly closely aligned in a plane called the ecliptic.
That is why we have lunar and solar eclipses (as well as signs of the zodiac). The positions within the orbits change, but the orbits themselves are very stable and mostly predictable.
