Why doesn't the sun orbit round us?

It's to do with the sun's mass overwhelming all of the planets' masses, including earth. The planets do make it move slightly due to gravitational effects, but the sun's mass is huge, so the effect is fairly small.

Additional answer

The way the universe was formed one body or another is likely to go round some other body. Earth happens to go round the Sun and conditions here are such that life arose and eventually produced someone who asked the question.

How many days does the sun take to orbt the moon?

The sun doesn't orbit anything, the planets orbit the sun, and our moon orbits us. It takes 24 hours forthe moon to orbit us once and 365 days for the earth to orbit the sun once


Can show us a diagram of the moon sun and earth orbit?

Draw a diagram using compasses. The Sun is at the centre and the Earth's orbit could have a radius of 4 inches. Put a spot somewhere on the orbit to represent the Earth. Then the Moon's orbit is a small circle round the Earth with a radius of 1/100 inch, about the size of a full stop.

How would a planet move if the sun dissapeared?

It is unlikely to happen, at least in my life time, which is a great comfort to me. But, as we and the other planets in our solar system orbit round the sun because of the sun's attraction, if the sun suddenly disappeared, there would be nothing to stop us being flung outwards into space.

Why do planets appear in different locations in the night sky while stars in a constellation stay in the same place?

Because the stars are very far away and are suns like our Sun. The planets however are in orbit round our Sun and relatively close to us. We can therefore see the movement of their orbit against the background of the "fixed" stars.


If the Sun temperature got hotter would it effect the orbit of the planets?

Noo,we're on these little rings that make go round-n-round-n-round.It would just make us get hotter,well,really it would make global warming finish us off.forever.

Do planet revolve around the sun at different distance?

Yes, as long as you mean Orbit. Orbit and Revolve are two different things. Each planet does both. It revolves, Earth does this once every day. It Orbits the sun once each Year. Yes, each planet has it own orbit as it goes round. It stays at the same distance, give or take a bit. That is why the inner planets always seem to stay near the Sun in the sky, while each outer planet can go round behind us (opposition) when it appears at its brightest in the midnight sky.


What palnet obribets the sun the longest?

Well the Sun doesn't move or orbit, but planets do. The planet that orbits the Sun is us [Earth].


Why don't things orbit us?

well, some people say that the earth orbits us but it doesn't. Things don't orbit us because we are on the earth and the earth orbits the sun. The moon, however, does orbit the Earth, as well as any satellites we put into orbit.
