The notion that the Earth revolves around the Sun had been proposed as early as the 3rd century BC by Aristarchus of Samos, but Aristarchus's heliocentrism attracted little attention until Copernicus revived and elaborated it.

What evidence shows that the Earth orbits the Sun?

Here is one: You can observe that the position of the Sun amongst the stars changes.
