So why aren't we being crushed by the Sun's Gravity?

Because it is too far away!

The Sun has a huge amount of gravity! 28x as strong as Earth's gravity. The Sun is much larger than Earth, so it would make sense that the gravity of the Sun would pull us toward it. But since gravity depends on Mass AND distance, our planet being super far from the Sun keeps us safe!

Does that mean the Sun's gravity does not affect us?

NO! The Law of Universal Gravitation says that the Sun is pulling us toward it- this is why we orbit the sun every year. But the Sun is far enough away that we are only orbiting, rather than flying toward it!
