NO
icy objects travel around the sun
No. The moon orbits the Earth which orbits the Sun.
It is an ELLIPSE. The Sun is NOT at the centre of the ellipse, but at one on the foci. Not only is the orbit elliptical , but this ellipse over time fattens ( becomes nearly circular) , or becomes a very narrow ellipse. The foci ( plural of the noun 'focus'), are two points inside the ellipse, on the major axis, where is you draw an ellipse with pins paper and string, are the two points were the pins are inserted. This ellipse does not quite close up. Each year there is a slight overlap in the orbited track . This has been observed with Mercury's orbit. Because the Sun is at one of the foci , the Earth's orbital track , speeds up near the Sun and slows down furthest away from the Sun. Also Equal Arcs of this orbit are swept in equal times. Have a look in Wikipedia , under ' Johannes Keppler ' .

The objects that orbit our Sun are collectively known as the Solar System. This includes eight major planets, their moons, dwarf planets like Pluto, asteroids, comets, and meteoroids. These bodies are held in orbit by the Sun's gravitational pull.
