Earth is tilted on its axis, so it is never completely straight up and down. The tilt is about 23.5 degrees, which is what causes the seasons as different hemispheres receive more direct sunlight at different times of the year. This tilt remains relatively constant as Earth orbits the sun.

It would continue in a straight line if gravity did not pull it down to earth.
