It means "does". It is the archaic (ancient or old) form of the verb, commonly used now in Shakespeare's writings and in the King James Version of The Bible.

What does 'Doth thou sun moveth' mean?

The phrase "Doth thou sun moveth" is not grammatically correct in modern English. A more accurate phrasing might be "Doth the sun move," which would essentially mean asking if the sun moves. This question relates to the historical belief that the sun orbited around the Earth, which has since been proven incorrect by our understanding of heliocentrism.


What does the doth protest to much mean?

This is a misquotation of Gertude's line in Hamlet, "The lady doth protest too much, methinks." She is watching a play in which a woman swears up and down she will never remarry and does so immediately on her husband's death. The line is ironic since Gertrude herself did exactly what the woman in the play did. The line has come to be quoted (or as often or not, misquoted) to describe someone who is a little too insistent, and so is not believable.
