What does the sun and earth have incomin?
Both the earth and the sun are orbiting bodies. The earth orbits the sun, The sun and the solar system orbit the Milky Way Galaxy's center
Is the earth in the Milky Way?
Yes, the Earth is a planet orbiting a star which we call the Sun. The Sun is just one of billions of stars orbiting the center of our galaxy which we call the Milky Way. The Milky Way is just one of billions of galaxies that we know to exist in our visible universe.

he thought the earth was the center of the universe and the sun and the planets orbiting the earth. but he was wrong.
Where in your galaxy is earth found?
Earth (and the Solar System) is located about 28,000 light-years from the center of the Milky Way.
What is the model if the earth would be in the center?
No model but a hybrid centered solar system [ Two centers orbiting one another ]
Is the solar system about halfway between the center of the Milky Way galaxy and its outer edge?
The solar system is the Milky Way galaxy, Earth, and all other planets and galaxies are the solar system.
Effect of earth gravity on saterlite?
A continuous acceleration toward the center of the Earth equal to GM/R2 where G is the Gravitational Constant, M the mass of the Earth and R the distance between the satelite and the center of the Earth. If you multiply this by the mass of the sattelite itself, you get the force acting on the satelite to produce the acceleration. It is this force, causing this acceleration, which holds the satelite in orbit. Without it the satelite would obey Newton's first law of motion and just move out in a straight line. Note that this is true of any object orbiting any thing, whether it is an artificial satellite orbiting the earth, a planet or spacecraft orbiting the Sun, or a star orbiting the center of the galaxy.
What was the greatest inaccuracy in Copernicus model of the solar system?
Copernicus mistakenly thought that our earth was the center of our universe, with the sun and other planets orbiting earth.
What is our position in the galaxy and the universe?
Our solar system is about 2/3 of the way out one of the spiral arms of the Milky Way galaxy, well out from the center. Because of the apparent expansion of the universe, we are unable to determine where the Milky Way galaxy is with reference to any 'fixed" reference; there appear to be no fixed references in the universe.
What would happen if the sun moved?
The Earth and everything else in our solar system would move with it. In fact, the sun does move, since it is orbiting around the Milky Way galaxy.
Can you say the distance between milky way galaxy and earth?
Center or whole? 0 miles if it's the whole galaxy because Earth is IN the Milky Way Galaxy but IDK center.
What is the difference of the heliocentric model and the geocentric model?
Geocentric models had the earth as the center of the universe with the sun and all the planets orbiting it. Heliocentric models (the current accepted ones) have the sun as the center, with the earth and planets orbiting it.
