Objects are attracted to other objects. now this is much more complex than that but I neither have the technical knowledge or time to truly explain all that. So because particles are attracted to each other the more mass an object has the more it pulls or attracts other objects, we call this force gravity. Objects such as planets that are orbiting other things (typically stars due to their massive size) are in a place where the force of gravity is not allowing them to escape but not entirely pulling them in.

Stars (like the Sun) and planets form from fast-swirling clouds of dust. When their force of gravity is great enough, the swirls clump together into a spherical ball. That does not make them stop spinning or stop them from orbiting the Sun.

We see that there is very little to make the spinning, orbiting planets slow their spins or orbits.

In the solar system where sun is present?

The Sun is near the center of the Solar System. Basically, planets, etc. move around the center of mass of the Solar System, which is near the Sun - but not exactly so, because the planets (especially Jupiter) also have some mass.
