Inertia is the tendency of objects to keep moving in a straight line. They "want" to go in a straight line, so to speak. However that is changed when a force acts on them. In the case of planets, that force is the gravitational force between the planet and the Sun.So that's why planets orbit the Sun instead of traveling in a straight line.
