The Sun's gravitational force is like the tetherball rope, in that it constantly pulls Earth toward it. Earth, however, like the tetherball, is traveling forward at a high rate of speed, which balances the gravitational effect. This means that the planet neither flies out into space nor falls into the Sun.
