The object that the earth moves around, which is the sun, is located at the center of our galaxy.
They are both satellites to an object which means that they are similar. The moon revolves around the earth, while it is also orbiting around the sun. There is really no difference, but the moon is a satellite that revolves around an object that is turning, and the earth is an object that only turns around the sun.
The movement of one object around something else is called revolution (a rotation is when an object moves around an axis that is part of the object itself). One year = one revolution.
Astronomically speaking, an object that orbits a larger object is a satellite. I.E. the moon is the earth's satellit
The earth moves around the sun it is yearly orbit of the sun. The earth and the moon actually move around each other, since they both orbit what is called the 'barycenter', the center of gravity of the earth-moon system. The barycenter is beneath the earth's surface, and moves in such a way that it is always in line with the moon's center of gravity and the earth's. This gives earth a slight wobble in its yearly orbit of the sun. The earth does not move around Mars.
The moon seems to change shape as it moves around the earth because the moon is always half lit by the sun. The amount of the lit half we see changes because the moon revolves around the earth.

The distance between Earth and Moon changes. Like any object going in an orbit around another object, the Moon moves around Earth in an ellipse, not in an exact circle.

Yes. The mass doesn't change as it moves around. The weight does.

When something moves around something else, it is said to REVOLVE, not ROTATE. Rotation means that something moves around its own axis (which is inside the same object).This apparent movement is caused by Earth's rotation around its axis.
The only natural object that moves around Earth is the Moon - and for this very reason it is not considered a planet. Rotation does not depend on clocks.
