There is no evidence whatsoever that it does not. There are huge amounts of data supporting the concept that earth orbits the sun.

Can the moon change its position?

I'm not quite sure if this is what you mean, but the moon revolves around the earth in an elliptical pattern, not a circle, and it also rotates as it does this. So yes the moon can change its position.


How many days is one year in moon?

Not sure what you are asking. The Moon orbits the Earth almost like a twin planet, at a distance of about 250 thousand miles, so it completes the journey around the Sun in the same time that the Earth does, so its year is the same as the Earth's. The Earth is about 93 million miles from the Sun, far greater than the distance from the Moon to the Earth.


How long does it take for Jupiter to go around the sun?

Well, buckle up buttercup, because Jupiter takes about 11.86 Earth years to complete one orbit around the sun. So, if you're planning a Jupiter birthday party, make sure to stock up on snacks and drinks for a long-haul celebration. Just remember, Jupiter's got a need for speed when it comes to orbiting the sun.


When viewed from above the North Celestial pole the moon orbits at rate faster or slower than the earth spins?

Im not sure i understand your question but doesn't the earth spin quite a bit faster because it takes 24 hrs for the earth to complete one rotation or spin but it takes the moon about 15 days to complete one orbit of the earth


What we you call an object that orbits around the planet?

moon Actually, anything that orbits a planet is called a satellite. Natural examples are moons, but man-made ones are things like the telescopes sent up from earth.

How far away is the farthest satellite?

The earth is a planet. An earth satellite is an artificial satellite that orbits the earth A geostationary satellite is an earth satellite that orbits at a height (approximately 22,000 miles) precisely determined to ensure that the satellite remains over the same spot on the earth's surface at all times, thus appearing from the earth to be stationary in the sky.


Which planet revolves very slowly around thesun?

Planets do not revolve around the Sun, they orbit. The planet which orbits slowest is Neptune at about 165 earth years per orbit [Pluto is a dwarf planet and orbits approximately once every 248 earth years].

Distens from Mercury to earth?

I am pretty sure that the distance between Earth and Mercury is somewhere around 77.3 Million kilometers...

Sun spins around the earth?

No. The earth is rotating (rather quickly, actually; at my latitude it amounts to about 700 miles per hour), but since we're spinning with it and the angular speed is slow (15 degrees per hour) we don't really notice.


How many comets are there in the world?

When you say "the world", I assume you mean the earth, where every human being who ever lived has resided.In that case, the answer to the question is "none". Comets are small bodies that move in their own orbits around the sun, just as earth itself does.It's possible that one or a few comets may have hit the earth during the earth's history, but we don't know that for sure. It certainly hasn't happened within the memory of anyone alive today, nor within the time that human beings have been keeping records of strange events.


Why the atmosphere of earth moves as the earth orbits around the sun or why not that the earth loss it asmosphere as it moves in the space?

The atmosphere of Earth is held in place by gravity. As the Earth orbits around the Sun, the gravitational pull of Earth keeps the atmosphere from escaping into space. Additionally, the atmosphere is made up of gases that are bound to Earth's gravity, so they move along with the planet as it travels through space.
