They do not say that.
It doesn't. The moon orbits the earth, and the earth orbits the sun, and the sun orbits the center of the galaxy. And the galaxy doesn't orbit anything.

The Earth, along with the Sun and all the other planets orbit around the centre of the Milky Way Galaxy.
No, Earth does not orbit the Sun in a perfect circular motion; it follows an elliptical orbit. This means that the distance between the Earth and the Sun varies throughout the year. While the orbit is close to circular, it is not a perfect circle, leading to slight changes in the Earth's distance from the Sun as it travels along its path.
The U.S. is on Earth, which is a small planet in orbit around a rather ordinary star in the Milky Way Galaxy.
yep, Earth: Milky way galaxy, saggitarius arm, sol, third orbit. :D all you need to do is ask a nerd :P
The path Earth travels around the sun is called an orbit. This orbit is elliptical in shape, meaning it is not a perfect circle but is slightly elongated. Earth takes 365.25 days to complete one orbit around the sun.
The sun is a star and the only one in the solar system. It does not orbit any star but rather orbits the center of the galaxy.
It's the same reason that mountains are not perfect triangles: Nature is imperfect.

The orbit of Earth around the Sun is an ellipse, but it is nearly circular, with an eccentricity of about 0.0167. In comparison, the roundness of an ellipse depends on its eccentricity; a perfect circle has an eccentricity of 0. Therefore, if "ellipse 1" has a higher eccentricity than Earth's orbit, it would be less round than Earth's orbit; otherwise, Earth's orbit is rounder.
