The momentum of the planet is balanced by the gravitational pull of the sun to keep the planet in its orbit. To put it very simplistically, the planet is moving so fast in the direction tangent to the sun's surface that by the time it falls any given distance toward the sun it has also moved around the sun so far that the net effect is that it stays at roughly the same distance from the sun but is over a different place on the sun's surface.
