Gravity is not a force: the flumes in a swimming complex is an example. Once you start off you have no choice but to follow the flume. There is no force heading you to the pool at the end. It’s an inevitable consequence of entering the flume for your ride. Thats the geometry of space time curvature.
The moon is in free fall around the earth. It doesn’t hit the earth due to its orbital velocity. Likewise, the earth orbits the sun and is in free fall. The earth is following a straight path along a curved surface. The earth isn’t drawn to the sun. The earth’s orbit velocity is 67,000 miles an hour
