In a word; gravity!
A bodies' mass tends to attract other smaller masses towards it. Untimately the Sun (if it does not implode first, which it will) will suck the Earth into it and out planet will become a small addition to the fuel that the Sun consumes.
This will only happen in about 45 million years, so we (living today) needn't worry about it, nor should our children.

What is the actual shape of the Earths orbit around the Sun?
The actual shape of the earth's orbit around the sun is horrendously complicated. Partly because the earth does not orbit the sun and also because the orbit is influenced by the the gravitational attraction of the other planets. The earth does not orbit the sun: the centre of mass of the earth-sun system is at one of the foci of an ellipse whose eccentricity is 0.0167. The eccentricity varies from 0.0034 to 0.058.
