Gravity.
No force orbits around the Earth. Forces do not orbit. The force that keeps material objects in orbit around the Earth is the mutual force of gravity between the Earth and the object.
You mean 'keeps in the orbit of the sun? Gravitational force of attraction keeps the earth going around the sun.
The mutual attractive force of gravity keeps the Earth in its orbit around the Sun.
The gravitational force between the Earth and the Moon is what keeps the Moon in orbit around the Earth. Similarly, the gravitational force between the Earth and the Sun is responsible for the Earth's orbit around the Sun. In both cases, these gravitational attractions provide the necessary centripetal force to maintain the orbits of these celestial bodies.
The force of gravity, specifically the gravitational pull between the Earth and the Sun, keeps the Earth in orbit around the Sun. This gravitational force creates a balance between the Earth's motion and the pull of the Sun, causing the Earth to continuously orbit around the Sun in a stable path.

Gravity is the force that keeps the Earth in orbit around the sun. The sun's gravity pulls the Earth towards it, causing the Earth to move in a curved path around the sun. This gravitational force is what keeps the Earth in its stable orbit and prevents it from flying off into space.
The force that keeps the moon in orbit around the Earth is gravity. Specifically, the gravitational pull between the Earth and the moon is what keeps the moon in its elliptical orbit.
The gravitational force.
The centripetal force that keeps the International Space Station in orbit around the Earth is due to the gravitational pull between the Earth and the space station. This gravitational force causes the space station to constantly fall towards Earth, but its tangential velocity keeps it moving sideways, resulting in a stable orbit.
That's the mutual force of gravitation (gravity) between the Earth and the Moon. This, combined with the Moon's velocity (its inertia), results in the orbital path that the Moon follows.
