Do all celestial objects rise in the east and set in the west because the earth is orbiting around the sun from east to west?

Celestial objects rise in the east and set in the west not due to Earth's revolution (orbit), but due to Earth's rotation, or how it spins. Since the earth spins around 1 full time approximately every day, we see all the objects in our sky come up and go back down once every day. It does this every day while orbiting the sun, but it takes a full year to get around the sun once, so the effects of the orbit are much slower.

Why do the planets and other celestial objects in our solar system revolve around the Sun?
because of GRAVITY
Why are the planets considered satellites?
Planets are not satellites. The definition of satellite is any celestial body orbiting around a planet or star.
Why do celestial bodies appear to move in the sky?
We observe celestial objects from the Earth. Since Earth rotates around the sun we see the celestial objects moving too. So basically due to the rotation of the Earth, celestial objects always seems to move from East to West.Hope that helped Of-course that must have helped, -Hailey xD LOL
What is meant by a celestial globe?
The Celestial Globe (or sphere) is an imaginary sphere around our planet, earth. All objects in the sky and space, such as satellites, can be thought inside this invisible sphere.
Why is the sun the central body of the solar system?
Because about 98 percent of the mass of the entire Solar System is concentrated in the Sun, it has gravitational predominance and does the least relative movement - the planets and other objects orbiting around it.
How do you xxplain What is solar system?
Solar relates to the sun. The sun is a star. A solar system is a star that has planets and other celestial objects orbiting around it in an ordered manner.

What is the property described by objects that are constantly moving around each other?
Objects that move around other objects in the universe are said to be orbiting it, or in orbit.

Why does the Sun keep all of the planets orbiting?
As the sun is the biggest celestial body in our solar system, so it has the most gravitational pull and therefore the planets n other celestial bodies revolve around the sun.
What is a relatively small celestial objects made of rock and metal that orbit around the sun?
They are known as asteroids.

What are the efffects of gravity?
Gravity keeps your feet on the ground. Gravity keeps all orbiting objects in orbit around the object they are orbiting. The force of gravity decreases as a square of the distance between two objects. Gravity is the weakest of the fundamental forces. Gravity is an attractive force between any two objects that have mass.
Is the system of planets and other objects orbiting around our sun a good definition for the solar system?
Yes, that would be a good explanation for it.
