friction
inertia
Friction is a force that opposes motion. Water resistance and air resistance are types of friction that slow objects in motion. Balanced and unbalanced forces are related to how forces interact on an object, but in the context of friction, the key elements here are the resistances (water and air) which are frictional forces.
Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist a change in its state of motion. Newton's 1st Law of Motion is about inertia (an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an external force). When a vehicle stops and you jerk forward, that's due to your body's inertia (it wants to keep moving forward as the vehicle stops). The statement "w/o it we would crash into the sun" is a bit of a conceptual way - if there was no inertia (or the equivalent force - in reality, gravitational forces and orbital mechanics are more complex, but in a basic physics - inertia - related sense, it's a way to think about an object's tendency to keep moving in its path).
