Does the Earth and other planets move around the Sun?

The existence of large objects like planets or stars curve space and time. As the Earth goes around the sun it is in fact falling into the sun. The problem is that the sun and other planets are also moving. Gravity from the sun's previous location takes time to reach the Earth and planets such that the gravity from another location reaches the targets first. As the Earth and other planets reach a location where it might be moving in; the sun moves again, and other planets impart their gravity as well. The gravity of the sun becomes diluted throughout the heliosheath because of this weakening the effect of gravity even further.

Can there be gravity between mars and earth?

All celestial bodies exhibit some kind of gravitational pull on all other bodies. Hence, yes, it is very much possible to figure out the pull between the Earth and Mars. So yes, there can be, and is, gravity between our planets. Needless to say, the effect of Mars gravity on earth is overwhelmed by the effect of the suns gravity on earth. But it still exists.
