Earth and many other celestial bodies revolves around the sun ,but have you thought WHY???
It can be said that it is the reaction of the earth against sun's gravitational force preventing it from falling into the massive sun.It can be said as the earth's method to resist the intense gravitational force of the sun by increasing it's velocity and there by increasing the centrifugal force acting and keeping it in an equilibrium.
You don't want to fear that the earth will fall into the sun .Before the sun will already swallow the earth because of it's transition into a red giant.
