The existence of large objects like planets or stars curve space and time. As the Earth goes around the sun it is in fact falling into the sun. The problem is that the sun and other planets are also moving. Gravity from the sun's previous location takes time to reach the Earth and planets such that the gravity from another location reaches the targets first. As the Earth and other planets reach a location where it might be moving in; the sun moves again, and other planets impart their gravity as well. The gravity of the sun becomes diluted throughout the heliosheath because of this weakening the effect of gravity even further.
Yes, the Earth and other planets in our solar system revolve around the Sun in elliptical orbits due to the force of gravity. This orbital motion is what causes the planets to move in their respective paths around the Sun.
No. The sun does not move. The Earth, and other planets of the solar system revolve around the sun.
The Earth and other planets of the solar system move in orbits around the sun.
It is called a satellite. Earth has one of them, other planets many more.

To assume that Earth and the other planets move around the sun
The planets that make part of the solar system move around the Sun. The huge gravity power of the Sun maintain all planets and moons orbiting around it on an elliptical form.
Then the earth, with all of the other planets, will move further away from the sun.
The traditional model was that they moved in "epicycles", which is basically a point on a circle, which both rotates, and revolves around another circle.Since the planets actually move around the Sun in ellipses, this model is not entirely accurate.
Planets appear to move across the sky's star patterns due to the Earth's orbit around the Sun. As we observe other planets from Earth, we are also moving in our orbit, causing the apparent motion of planets against the backdrop of fixed stars. This is known as planetary motion or retrograde motion, depending on the relative positions of Earth and the other planet.
Other planets have more or less gravity than Earth, so the energy needed to move things around is also more or less.
because if the earth did not turn around the sun we would never EVER have daytime, only nightfall.
