your mum said that, and god agred so it was then decided that the world wouldorbit the sun.
The other planets - and all other bodies - orbit the earth.
The concept of helio centric motion of the earth and planets was proposed by Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543) in his works 'De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium'- (About the revolutions of The heaveanly Spheres.).

Yes, but there are also some that orbit other planets.

the sun
There are no planets in orbit between Earth and the Sun. The innermost planet in our solar system is Mercury, followed by Venus, then Earth. The region between Earth and the Sun is occupied solely by asteroids and other small objects.
The planets don't all orbit the Sun in EXACTLY the same plane - there are small variations. The plane where Earth orbits is called the Ecliptic; other planets orbit fairly close to that same plane.
The Earth, along with the Sun and all the other planets orbit around the centre of the Milky Way Galaxy.
