It's scientifically proven that the earth IS extremely slowly getting closer to the sun because the gravitational pull of the sun is really strong but we won't collide with the sun before it expands and consumes the earth. Luckily this will not happen for a few billion years.

Yes. The Sun spins on its axis just like the Earth. It (and the rest of our solar system) also revolves within the Orion arm of the Milky Way Galaxy. The Milky Way Galaxy is also moving through space, along with many other galaxies in the so-called Local Group. The motion of all these galaxies is generally toward an unseen concentration of mass, in the direction of the Norma Galactic Cluster. The Sun's surface also ripples and pulsates, both cyclically (p-waves) and gravitically (g-waves), likely due to churning and the different rotational velocity of its core. The major surface motion is the development of solar flares initiated by magnetic flux.
Yes, the sun is revolving at a certain speed about the centre of the galaxy. Fortunately our solar system moves with the sun.

The Earth orbits around the Sun The sun however, is the center of the planets of our solar system, that means its stationary, or relatively so to the planets, all the planets revolve around it.

The sun and solar system move around the galactic center.

Both the sun and earth move all the time, but to "make a day" happen, the earth rotates. It is the rotation of the earth that causes the sun to rise and set.

Both

The Earth rotates on it's axis and revolves around the Sun. The Sun rotates on it's axis and revolves around the centre of the galaxy.

The sun moves and the Earth. But I doubt it moves closer-not too much-

because it would be too hot for us to be here.

It is the earth that moves around the sun. The earth moves around the sun in a very nearly circular orbit. It covers this track at a speed of approximately 30 kilometers per second.

What is the name for the orbital position of the earth when it is closest to the sun and moving slowest?

The question is badly formed.When the Earth is at "perihelion", closest to the Sun in its elliptical orbit, it is moving fastest.When the Earth is at aphelion, farthest from the Sun, it it moving at its slowest.


How can the moon and sun tell us that the earth is moving?

The moon and sun can tell us that the earth is moving as our earth spins adding to the sight of turn of the Moon which we can see in the sky moving throughout the day. The sun can tell us the earth is moving as we can see shadows on people and objects moving around telling us something has to be moving. It has been scientificly proven that is not the Sun or "Sol" so we know it is the Earth.

Why is the sun moving in the sky when the earth is rotating around the sun?

The Earth itself is rotating @ 1 revolution per day -hence the 'Sun moving in the Sky': meanwhile the Earth is following an elliptical track around the Sun whilst itself spinning.


Why do humans not get pulled towrd the sun instead of the earth?

because people have a smaller mass than that of earth, they are attracted into earth's gravitational field. Theoretically, Earth is moving closer to the sun every day, so we technically are moving towards the sun.
