Because the mass of the Earth is enough to set up a gravitational attraction

between it and any other mass, which in turn provides more than enough

centripetal force to keep any mass moving in a circular path with a radius of

4,000 miles and a period of 24 hours.

Gravity. The orbit of a planet is a balance between the planet's speed carrying it away and the gravity of the sun pulling it closer.

Because we are attracted to the sun.This is because of gravity,two masses attract in this case Sun and Earth,but because we are rotating at a speed fast enough, we orbit the sun.

Because it is (mostly) attracted by the sun. It doesn't fly into the sun because it is atracted by other planets like Jupiter and Saturn. It is an equilibrium.
