The earth and the other planets are attracted to the sun's gravitational pull. The larger an object is, the greater it's gravitational pull. The planets are caught in the sun's gravitational pull and as such orbit it in an organized manner. Distance also has an effect on the force of gravity, because the moon is close enough to the earth it revolves around the earth instead of the sun. Since the moon is within the Earth's gravitaional pull, it merely orbits the Earth, it doesn't crash into it. Although, there is evidence that the moon was once an asteroid before it collided with earth. During this process a chunk of it broke off and got caught in the earth's pull and began to orbit it.
