What was Copernicus' idea about the earth and the sun?
That the earth revolves around the sun, not that the sun revolves around the earth.
Why does Mercury's days last almost 59 earth days?
Mercury rotates in about 58.65 Earth days. This is called a "sidereal day". Interestingly there is a big difference between the length of this "day" and the "solar day"which is about 176 Earth days. Anyway the reason for the slow rotation is the closeness to the Sun. Tidal forces are responsible.

What are advantages of sun and dissadvantages of sun?
Advantages: without the sun, all life on earth would die Disadvantages: The sun is hot (jk, there are no disads)
Temperatures on earth are kept stable due to what?
Temperatures on earth are kept stable due to the atmosphere. Other factors are the closeness to the sun, the tilt of the Earth, and several other things.
What planets are orbiting close to the sun due to their large mass?
The closeness to the Sun is not directly related to the mass.
What are the factors of industrial location?
Factors may be placed into three basic categories: 1. Natural Advantages 2. Acquired Advantages 3. Government Advantages The factors can be listed as follows: a) Cost-[Acquired] b) Closeness to a source of raw materials-[Natural] c) Closeness to a source of power-[Acquired and/or Natural] d) Closeness to a market-[Acquired] e) Closeness to an educated working force-[Acquired] f) Closeness to a method of transport-[Acquired] g) Government Intervention-[Government] h) In a suitable climate-[Natural] i) In a stable political atmosphere-[Government] j) Health facilities-[Acquired]

How seasons occur the sun is closer at one point and the earth is close?
The Earth's orbit isn't perfectly circular; it's actually an ellipse with an eccentricity of 3%, which is pretty close to being circular, but not quite. The Sun is at one focus of the ellipse, not at the center. So the Earth is closer to the Sun at perihelion on January 4 (or thereabouts) and farthest from the Sun at aphelion around July 2nd. However, our seasons are far more influenced by the angular tilt of the Earth's spin axis than it is by our closeness or distance to the Sun.
What dry planet becomes very hot during the day this is due to its closeness to the sun?
Mars because it is closer to the sun
Why is mercury so hard to observe?
It closeness to the sun makes viewing Mercury very difficult, it appears close to the sun in the sky from earth and the glare of the sun comes into play. Its also small, the smallest of the eight planets and we can only see a reduced portion of its surface usually as it orbits insides earths orbit. We see it from the side, with half of it illuminated when it is at the best angle relative to the sun and Earth for viewing.
How do the Sun's position in the sky and the length of daylight relate to the seasons of the year?
The amount of daylight is determined by the Earth's closeness to the sun, and which part of the Earth is facing the sun. The Earth orbits the sun in an oval, so when the Earth is closer to the sun there is more daylight. It also rotates on its axis, so all faces of the Earth get sunlight when they face the sun.
