Gravity combined with the object's "sideways" (tangential to its orbit) motion.
The Sun "wants" to pull the object towards it and the object "wants" to fly of into space. When these two things are balanced the object is in a stable orbit.

What does the sun have that helps hold the objects in the solar system in orbit?
Mass. There's a gravitational force of mutual attraction between every pair of mass objects. The mutual force of attraction between the sun and every orbiting object in the solar system is what keeps each one in its orbit.
Why do objects in the solar system move the way they do?
The orbit
What do all the objects in your solar system orbit?
The sun
How do objects in your solar system stay in their objects?
Gravity is the force which keeps them there.
What kind of energy keeps the solar system in orbit around the sun?

How does gravity help planets and stars and solar system?
it keeps it in orbit
What keeps the planets in the solar system in orbit around the sun?
The Sun's strong gravity keeps all the planets in orbit around it.
What causes the objects in the solar system to stay in orbit?
The Sun's Gravity
