You are correct, it is true that the gravitational pull of the sun keeps the planet in orbit around it. Gravity is a fundamental force in the universe that results in an attractive force between two objects with mass. The bigger the mass, the greater the gravitational force it exerts on other objects around it. In the case of our solar system, the sun is the largest object and its gravitational pull keeps all the planets in their respective orbits.
