The Earth and all the planets follow Kepler's three laws of planetary motion, which means the Earth travels in an ellipse which takes us around the Sun at a distance that varies from 147.1 to 152.1 million kilometres, when the Earth is at the opposite ends of the major axis of the ellipse.
The orbit is technically an ellipse but practically almost a perfect circle, with the Sun 2.5 million km off-centre.
As the distance changes, so does the speed, but the sum of the kinetic energy and the potential energy stays constant and the orbit remains very stable.

REVOLUTION
In the geocentric model the motion of the sun was what'?
It was in orbit around the earth.
What is earths motion around the sun in the path called?
Orbit
What is earths motion around the sun in the path called what?
Orbit
What is the motion of one object around another?
In planetary terms, when referring to the motion of planets and moons etc. the motion is describes as orbiting. Moons are on orbit around planets, while the planets are in orbit around the sun. An orbital motion.
Is earths orbit around the sun unusual?
Earths orbit around the sun is not unusual.
What is a seven letter word that describes the shape of the earths orbit?
Ellipse.
Is the earths orbit around the sun highly elliptical or almost circular?
The earths orbit around the sun is almost circular.
What are some examples of constant motion?
Light, Earths orbit, flowing river
How do you graph the earths orbit around the sun in quadraic function on a graph?
How do yu graph the earths orbit around the sun in qudraic function?
The earths move as a result of?
Earth is held in elliptical orbit around the sun by gravity. It's motion can be thought of as due to a combination of gravity and inertia.
Is the earths orbit around the sun a cause of the phases of the moon?
No. The moon's orbit around the earth is.
Is the moons orbit around earth absolutely straight with respect to earths orbit around the sun?
no
Is earths orbit a path around the sun?
Yes.
