Copernicus made a contribution to Astronomy by proposing the theory called "Heliocentrism", which means that simply the Earth and all of the other planets revolve around the stationary Sun.
Please kindly note planets revolve round the sun only.
because sun is a star n planets revolve around the star not the other way round
Moons orbit planets Or rather moons and planets orbit their barycenter.
They revolve. They all have individual orbits round the Sun. The orbits closely approximate ellipses.
In the Dark Age of Science, it was believed that Earth was in the center of Solar System and all the planets including sun, revolve round the sun. This is called Geocentric Theory.Nicolas Copernicus, A Polish*Astronomer, proved that earth and other planets revolved round the sun. This is Heliocentric Theory.(Copernicus proposed the Heliocentric Theory in 1543, 64 years before the invention of telescope. I was all the work of his Mathematics.)_________________________________________________________________* Polish Astronomer is an Astronomer from Poland
They go round and round. Not only do they turn on their polar axes, but they also revolve around the Sun. So the planets each have two types of revolution. The Earth turns on its axis every day, and it goes round the Sun once a year.
That is part of an earlier theory of the planets' paths through the sky, devised by Ptolemy in AD 100. The planets were assumed to orbit round the Earth and for that reason the theory was described as geocentric. The Ptolemaic theory used combinations of circles to explain the planets' orbits. It explained the planets' movements quite accurately and was accepted for over 1000 years as correct because no major faults had been detected with it. In the 16th century the theory was re-examined by Copernicus who devised a new theory with the Sun at the centre (heliocentric), which in a sense was simpler, and the two theories coexisted as theories. In 1609 Johannes Kepler produced a new theory from the latest observations by Tycho Brahe using new equipment designed by himself with unprecedented accuracy. Kepler's theory had the Sun at the centre but used the novel idea of elliptical orbits, and this model was later confirmed by Newton's theoretical discoveries and also by subsequent accurate observations.
rotate - to revolve round a centre or axis
The ball was caught in the merry-go-round and began to revolve with it.
His theory was geo. The heliocentric theory is modern and has the Sun at the centre of the solar system with the planets going round it in nearly-circular orbits. Ptolemy's theory, a geocentric one, had the Earth at the centre, with everything else orbiting round it, but Ptolemy found an ingenious way of accounting for the planets' movements in the sky quite accurately. Ptolemy's method describes the planets' orbits in terms of a basic circular orbit, called the deferent but what goes round the deferent is a smaller circle, the epicycle, and the planet goes round the epicycle. It isn't difficult to see that this geometrical construction 'takes out' the Earth's movement round the Sun and explains the planets' movements as we see them from the Earth, while allowing the Earth to be fixed at the centre.
The Sun and its attendant planets in our Solar System, revolves round the center of the "Mikey Way" Galaxy. it takes about 200 million years to make one orbit.
Moon also revolve. Earth revolve round the sun and moon revolve round the earth.
