The Sun's gravity pulls on the planets, just as Earth's gravity pulls down anything that is not held up by some other force and keeps you and me on the ground. Heavier objects (really, more massive ones) produce a bigger gravitational pull than lighter ones, so as the heavyweight in our solar system, the Sun exerts the strongest gravitational pull.

Are you moving around the sun or it is the sun that moves around the planets?

The planets are considered moving around the sun, even though the sun moves too (in tiny circles opposite the planets' motions). The planets are circling the sun. The sun (dragging the planets along with it) is circling our galaxy's center. Our galaxy (dragging the sun, the planets, and all the other stars) is moving through the universe as well.

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. So either the entire sky with all the stars moves around us, the Sun moves around the Earth, or the Earth moves around the Sun. Assuming that it is Earth that moves around the Sun is the simplest of the assumptions (in the older, geocentric, model, the other planets had complicated orbits around the Earth).

Which planet moves the most slowly in its orbit?

Of the major planets, Neptune. The speed of planets in their orbits is directly related to their distance from the sun. The farther a planet is from the Sun, the slower its orbital speed.


How did nicolous copernocus and galilio find out that the earth moves around the sun?

it was very difficult to understand the retrograde motion of other planets if earth was considered to be at the center of the solar system but it could be easily explained if earth is considered to revolve around the sun along wit other planets. So explanation of retrograde motion of other planets made them realize that earth moves around the sun.
