Does the sun orbit around the earth or the earth orbit around the sun?

Answer 1

Of course ,the Earth orbits around the Sun.

The HELIOCENTRIC MODEL, which was first proposed by Nicolaus Copernicus in the 16th century and later confirmed by observations and evidence suggest that the Earth orbits around Sun.

No matter many new theories have been proposed suggesting that Sun orbits around Earth but no evidence has been given.

Answer 2

The Earth orbits around the Sun is the simple answer, which is good enough for most people.

However, a more accurate answer is that they both orbit the center of mass of the solar system.

Because the Sun has nearly 99.9 percent of the mass of the solar system, the

Earth orbits a point

that's normally just outside the Sun's surface. So, the simple answer is fairly accurate.

Answer 3

It isn't quite clear what you mean. "Axis" is not used as a verb. And move around an axis is different from orbiting. Here are some details to consider:

* Other planets don't orbit the Earth. Anything that orbits the Earth or another planet is called a moon.

* Instead, the planets orbit the Sun. (Or, in other solar systems, the planets orbit their corresponding star.)

* The planet's rotation around its axis can vary quite a lot, both in speed and in direction. At least in our Solar System, the general tendency is for planets to rotate in the same direction they orbit the Sun - however, both Uranus and Venus are exceptions.

Answer 4

A planet further from the Sun takes longer to go round.

Joannes Kepler discovered that the orbital period is proportional to the 1.5 power of the average radius of the orbit. So for example a planet at 4 times the distance would take 8 times longer to go round.

Answer 5

The simplest, most honest, most direct answer is: Because that's how gravity works.

When you take Newton's simple formula for the gravitational forces between two masses,
and investigate the implications of the formula it with enough geometry and calculus, it
turns out that two bodies joined in gravitational orbit MUST move exactly as Kepler's laws
describe the orbits of the planets:
-- In elliptical paths, with the sun at one focus,
-- with equal areas swept out in equal times by a line from the sun to the planet, and
-- with the ratio of (the orbital period, squared) to (the length of the major axis of the
ellipse, cubed) being the same number for every object that orbits the sun, no matter
how large or small the object is, or how circular or eccentric its orbit is.

Answer 6

A curved path followed by a planet around the sun. A satellite can also have an orbit and it follows this path around a planet. Orbits are usually elliptical .

Also known as gravity.

Answer 7

they oribit around the sun and moon from when they are created they get pulled in by the suns gravity and get trapped into orbit

Answer 8

That is the result of the inverse-square law that governs gravitational attraction.

Answer 9

No. The Earth (and all of the other planets of the solar system) orbit the sun.

Answer 10

Its the only stable orbit.
