Does the earth rotate or revolve around the sun?

Answer 1

The Earth orbits around the Sun is the simple answer, which is good enough for most people.

However, a more accurate answer is that they both orbit the center of mass of the solar system.

Because the Sun has nearly 99.9 percent of the mass of the solar system, the

Earth orbits a point

that's normally just outside the Sun's surface. So, the simple answer is fairly accurate.

Answer 2

Literally, Earth orbits around the sun.

it rotates on its axis.

but in general,
