It is because earth is not stationary as it is revolving around the sun and is also rotating on its own axis. A non- stationary frame of reference cannot be considered as an inertial frame.

A stationery frame of reference is one in which newtons laws are obeyed.
based on this u can say that the earth is an inertial frame o reference but it only happens when u iew an object which is on earth rom earth.
 
it is not applicable when you hypothetically speaking are iewing a point on the sun.
hence generally speaking earth is a non inertial frame of reference as it is roatating on its axis and revolving around the sun.
