well all that is because of something called 'gravity' around the universe
most of said gravity is coming from a massive object that we call the sun
the gravity drags you down and smashes you on the floor until you turn into a bloody heap of bone and flesh (jk)
'bUt wHy DoEsNt ThE eArTh FaLl InTo ThE sUn' you ask ??
well thats from something called inertia
inertia is the driving force of orbits around a celestial object, its basically the forward movement of the earth which just happens to be enough to keep the earth from being deleted by the sun
so basically, inertia and gravity are why and how the earth manages a stable orbit
the reason earth rotates, however, is caused by something completely different
that was from how the solar system was formed
as rock and gas was compressing a few billion years ago they started to spin due to the effect of gravity on each other
that effect of gravity still lasts to this day, aided by the moon which lightly tugs on the earth as it rotates
i hope this helps lol
