If a soccer ball that is otherwise able to hold its pressure fairly well is heated by the sun, it will, indeed, increase its pressure. Thermal energy is transferred to the air (which is already compressed) inside the ball, and it causes the gas atoms and molecules to increase their thermal energy. This thermal energy causes increased vibration and increased "bouncing around" among the heated gas particles. The increased kinetic energy added to the air by the heat of the sun has increased the pressure in the ball.

What happens when you wet a cotton ball and put it in the sun?

The water in the cotton ball will evaporate due to the sun's heat, causing it to dry out. The heat from the sun speeds up the evaporation process, resulting in the cotton ball becoming dry more quickly than if it were left in a cooler environment.

Newton's 1st law of motion states that a moving object will go in a straight line unless an outside force changes this motion What outside force prevents the planets from moving in a straight line in?

It's not that there is some force keeping the planets from falling into the sun; the sun's gravity prevents the planets from travelling in a straight line out of the solar system. If you throw a ball in a straight line then it keeps going, but if you throw a ball on a rope tied to a pole then the rope pulls the ball toward the pole and keeps the ball moving in a circle.
