Because the gravitational force is insufficient. There is not enough mass in either body to cause collapse.

What goes up and down a mountain but doesnt move?
sun
How can you tell if solar energy has heated Earth or if energy from the sun has transferred to Earth?
Very simply, you can "see" the sun or feel the sun's warmth. Both of these tell you that solar energy from the sun has transferred to earth.
What is caused by the same force that caused object to fall toward the surface of earth?
Sun
What is the average speed of Earth as it orbits the sun?
The average linear speed of Earth with respect to the sun is about 29.78 km/sec.
Is it true the heat from the sun reaches earth through convection?
No that is not true, heat from the Sun does not reach the Earth by means of convection.
Did earth just appear?
No, it was formed as part of the collapse of the Nebular which formed the Sun.
What are the seasons of the Earth moon and sun?
the doesnt have seasons. nor does the sun. the earth has summer, autumn, winter, and spring
When it is winter in the northern hemisphere is the earth closest to the sun?
no.Distance of the sun to earh it doesnt effect in anyway the earth.
Thoes the sun move westwards around the earth?
no the sun doesnt move. the earth orbits the sun and rotates on its axis; that's why we have day and night.
How is solar energy from the Sun transferred to the Earth?
It is transferred by the energy of photons and heat radiation. Convection doesnt work as there is vacuum between sun and earth.

Why doesnt earth just simply fall into the sun?
The Sun's gravity pulls the Earth towards the Sun but the Earth is also carried forward in its orbit by its momentum. Although the Earth curves towards the Sun continuously, it never falls in. The reason was discovered by Isaac Newton.
Mars is closer to earth than the sun why does mars orbit the sun and not earth?
It doesnt orbit earth because the Suns gravity is stronger than earths gravity. And the sun is about 1 million times bigger than earth so with inertia and all it orbits the sun.
What effect will be there on rotation of the earth if sun collapse to black hole?
We would probaly just float away into deep space.
Why doesnt the sun burn us all up?
All the water on the Earth absorbs the sun, therefore it wont burn us all.
The sun seem to 'set' in the west why?
It doesnt seem to it just does because the Earth rotates from West to East.
What are the chances of earth falling through the sun's surface?
Zero, assuming current conditions. However, when the sun runs out of hydrogen in roughly 5 billion years, it will expand and then collapse. It is not clear whether earth will remain a burned out cinder orbiting the dead sun, or will be literally consumed (falling through the earth's surface) during the sun's expansion.
