Default Why are we orbiting around the sun not towards it?

How come we are not going towards the sun? Sun gravity is so powerful
that every nature satellite is orbiting around it (with the expection

not going towards the sun.


I am sure my question may sound bit silly to some people.



Because the ones that were going towards it all fell in a long time
ago!
