Planets revolve on their axis. Separate to this motion, they also orbit the Sun. The force of gravity and the momentum of the objects keep them going.

When astronauts go to space do they see the planets revolving around the sun?

As far as I can imagine, No. Astronauts and space shuttles are tiny with respect to the planets. Mostly,space shuttles are in between two orbits. To observe planets revolving around the sun, you need to be very far away (so that you can see this view. Think of this: If you are standing in the middle of the track of a gigantic circular race track,would you be able to see all the cars moving around the race track? No. You would just be able to see the cars zooming in front of you. And it would appear as though the cars are moving straight. You would only be able to see all the cars moving round the enormous track if you were on a helicopter, or sitting on a seat high above the track. This is exactly the same thing with the planets. You can't see them all revolve unless you are really far away.And, astronauts don't go that far out.
