What is celestial body around which earth rotates?

The earth revolves around the sun, or more accurately, the bodies revolve around the common centre of gravity.


Which characteristic do cyclones and anticyclones have in common?

Isobars form a concentric pattern around the center


What is it called when there is a sun that is a satellite to another sun?

That's called a binary star. Since the mass of the two stars is fairly similar (not nearly as much mass difference as between the Sun and Earth, for example), both are in orbit; it is more accurate to say that both stars move around the common center of mass.That's called a binary star.

What is the term for circulation around any low- pressure center no matter how large or intense it is?

The common term is - a cyclone.


What is the circle that the Earth makes around the sun?

The sun and the Earth both orbit their common center of mass, as any two orbiting bodies do. Since the sun's mass is about 333,000 times the Earth's mass, their common center of mass is about 333,000 times farther from the Earth than it is from the sun. (Just the same way as the Earth and sun would have to be situated if the two of them tried to ride a see-saw together.) If the Earth averages about 93 million miles from the sun, that places their common center of mass something like 280 miles from the center of the sun ... about 0.03% of the distance from the sun's center to its 'surface'. That's why it sure looks as if the sun is just sitting there in the center and the Earth is circling around it ... because the Earth makes this enormous circle around the common center of mass, while the sun just barely wiggles.

What is the alignment of the sunearthand moon?

All three rotate around a common center of gravity. Since the sun is so big, the common center is within it, so we can say that the Earth - Moon pair rotates around the sun. Since the Earth is so much larger than the moon, the same is true and you can say that the moon rotates around the Earth. But note that the moon never goes "backward", both Earth and the Moon follow a wavy path around the sun.


Does the Sun move in one year?

Most likely the sun makes a movement within a year; though it has not being recorded as a likey feasable option. Because the sun pulls sprung masses around itself it is likely that the negative gravity of our planets imobilises the sun though it is not likely that this theory of many is correctAnswer:The sun has several distinct movements:It rotates around its axisIt rotates around the common axis of all mass in the solar systemIt rotates around the center of the Milky Way galaxyIt moves outwards from the center of the Universe as the Universe expands

The earth revolves around the sun, or more accurately, the bodies revolve around the common centre of gravity.


What are the most common controversial topics?

Politics, religion, and social issues. It almost unilaterally rotates around those three.


Why is the moon out all night?

Actually, the moon is out all night and all day depending on where one is located on Earth. Earth rotates on it's axis while the moon is "locked" toward Earth as they rotate around each other on their common center of gravity.

Why the moon revolves around the earth not the other way around?

The moon and the earth both revolve around their common center of mass.

Why is it that the Earth revolves around the moon?

Ummmm.... No. The Moon orbits the Earth. The Earth orbits the Sun. The Sun orbits the center of the galaxy. Light things in orbit, heavier things in the center of the orbit. Well not exactly, they revolve around their common center of mass. This may or may not be at the exact center as far as distance. The common center of mass of the Moon and the Earth is located inside the earth, but not at the center of the Earth.


The moon revolves around?

The Earth. Actually, technically, the Moon and Earth revolve around a common center of gravity, but that center of gravity falls within the earth itself.


What do you think revolves the earth around the sun or the sun around the earth?

I think they both revolve around their common center of mass. Of course, since the sun's mass is so much greater than the Earth's their common center of mass is inside the sun, and it appears almost as if the Earth revolves around a stationary sun.
