gravitational pull
Yes, the Earth and other planets in our solar system revolve around the Sun in elliptical orbits due to the force of gravity. This orbital motion is what causes the planets to move in their respective paths around the Sun.
The path of Earth (or other planets) around the Sun is called the planet's orbit.
NO. Earth and all the other planets revolve around the sun.--------------------------------------------**Answered by Jakki Jerkmonster.**

The sun's gravity keeps the earth and the other planets in orbit around it
orbit =)
No all planets revolve around the nearest star. In our case, the sun.
Ptolemy thought the earth was the center of the universe, so that the stars, the other planets and the sun revolved around the earth; Copernicus realized that for the orbits of the planets to make sense, the earth and the other planets had to revolve around the sun.
That the Earth and all the other planets rotate around the Sun... and not around the Earth........
Nicolaus Copernicus was the first to formulate the theory that placed the Earth and other planets rotating around the Sun.
it was very difficult to understand the retrograde motion of other planets if earth was considered to be at the center of the solar system but it could be easily explained if earth is considered to revolve around the sun along wit other planets. So explanation of retrograde motion of other planets made them realize that earth moves around the sun.
Earth, like all the other 7 planets, revolves around the sun. Hence, earth is said to be a part of the "Solar" system.
