Gravity ! The earth is being constantly pulled towards the sun, by the sun's gravitational pull. At the same time, centrifugal force is trying to 'throw' the earth out into space. The two forces just about cancel each other out - resulting in the earth remaining in orbit around the sun.

Does earth move around the sun in an orbit or an eliptical orbit?
The earth moves around the sun in a elliptical orbit.
What is a single earth orbit?
A single Earth orbit is one time the Earth moves around the sun.
What do you call the path on which the Earth moves around the sun?
The name of the path the earth takes around the sun is known as the orbit. The earth takes slightly over 365 to complete its revolution round the sun.
What is it called when the moon moves around the earth?
This is called its orbit. Strictly, the moon and the earth both orbit their common centre of mass. The path of the moon around Earth is elliptical orbit. It takes about 29 days to complete one orbit of earth by moon.
Is the moon speed constant?
The moon has an elliptical orbit around the Earth, although it is almost circular; when the moon is at the closest point to the Earth in its orbit, it moves the fastest, and when it is at the most distant point, it moves the slowest. But the variation is relatively small.

How fast does the Earth?
In its orbit around the Sun, the Earth moves at 30 km/second.
How fast does earth spin around sun?
In its orbit around the Sun, the Earth moves at about 30 km/sec.
When does the earth moves most rapidly around its orbit?
The earth moves most rapidly in its orbit around the sun at perihelion, when it is closest to the sun. That occurs some time during the first few days of January.
What is it called when the moon moves around the earth?
This is called its orbit. Strictly, the moon and the earth both orbit their common centre of mass. The path of the moon around Earth is elliptical orbit. It takes about 29 days to complete one orbit of earth by moon.
