I got this critical question from my student. My answer at that time was that the Creator had arranged it that way. But this student critically asked, how did the Creator arrange it? Next I answer that in this world there are various styles which continuously control the movement of the earth and other planets. Then he asked again, what forces are there in nature so that they can regulate the movements of various planets? Until here I have not been able to answer that.
Through this forum I expect the help of researchers to answer this question. In my opinion, the comments, comments and explanations of friends are very useful for us all.
Thank you for your attention and participation.
Regards,
Have a nice weekend

Nazar,
The Earth moves for no reason except that the gas cloud from which the solar system formed had some tiny amount of rotational motion. This cloud was large - many light years in size (Google: Jeans' cloud collapse) and it was large enough, and cold enough, that it could collapse under its own gravity.
In doing so, the Sun was formed at the core, and as the cloud contracted, its rotational speed rose (but not uniformly). In the contracting cloud, dust motes collided, stuck to ices, and grew in size through collisions. These motes were orbiting the new-born sun, and as they clumped together those motes (grains, rocks, boulders, mountains, worlds) all continued with that same motion.
In short, the conservation of angular momentum is what gave motion to the solar system. The planets continue to move since nothing impedes them.
This is the conventional model that is widely thought to be accurate by modern science.
