No, it is the mass of the Earth that keeps it spinning steadily. The Earth is in free fall going round the Sun so it feels no force on it. The force is exactly balanced by acceleration towards the Sun. But because the Earth is big and the Sun relatively close, the point of Earth nearest the Sun (where the Sun is overhead) has a little more force than the centre, and twice as much as at the opposite point, and the difference is called a tidal force.
