Once it hits the Earth's surface, it will stop falling.

Gravity.
It is falling through space even though moving around the sun. The inertia of the "fall" and the pull of the gravity of the sun, make the earth go around the sun in an ecliptic orbit.
Gravity hold everything on earth
Earth pulls on the object, and the object pulls on Earth
Near Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.8 meters per square second. It varies slightly from place to place, though.

Of course there is. Gravity effects everything on or near the Earth. If it didn't then whenever you left the surface of the Earth, you'd just float away into space.
It sure tries to, but the bird and the aeroplane can sort of brace themselves against the air hard enough to generate a lifting force that's stronger than the pull of gravity and remain airborne.
Gravity is caused by mass, so objects with more mass, such as planets and stars, exert a lot of gravity. The earth and everything on it are constantly falling towards the sun because of the sun's immense gravity. ... Because of this sideways momentum, the earth is continually falling towards the sun and missing it.
