Gravity is the force that keeps the Earth in orbit around the sun. The sun's gravity pulls the Earth towards it, causing the Earth to move in a curved path around the sun. This gravitational force is what keeps the Earth in its stable orbit and prevents it from flying off into space.

Why is planet earths journey around the sun?

The reason that Earth travels around the sun is because of gravity. The Gravity of the sun pulls all the planets towards it. This gravity will pull all material that is not moving into it, and material that is currently moving will be pulled into an orbit. The shape of the orbit depends on the original speed of the object.
