There are three known asteroid belts (the Asteroid Belt, the Kuiper Belt, and the Oort Cloud) orbiting Sol, as well as many comets, planetoids, and other objects.

What types of Non-Planetary Objects Inhabit the Solar System?

Besides the 8 recognised planets in our solar system, there are also minor plants and dwarf planets. These still orbit our sun, but are not large enough to qualify as a planet. There are also comets - small bodies of rock and ice that are in a highly eccentric orbit around our sun, asteroids, which are smaller objects in orbit around the sun (mainly between orbits of Mars and Jupiter), Kuiper belt objects, which are out beyond the orbit of Neptune and Oort cloud objects, which is further out still. There are also moons and artificial satellites - not in a direct orbit around the sun, but in direct orbit with objects that are then rhemselves in direct orbit around the sun.

What source keeps the planet in orbit around the sun?

The primary force responsible for keeping the planet in orbit around the sun is gravity. Gravity is the attractive force between celestial objects, such as the sun and the planets, that keeps them in their respective orbits.
