There are several rocks trapped in the orbit of the Sun.
They are ;-
The four rocky planets , Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars.
Then there is the Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter. These are 'lumps' of rock moving in an orbital belt about the Sun. One of these rocks can be identified as 'Ceres'.
What else can I help you with?
Why does the moon move in in orbit around the earth?
The moon is trapped in the gravitational pull of the earth. The earth and the moon are trapped in the gravitational pull of the sun. It is like whirling a small weight attached to a length of string round your head. The only thing stopping the weight to fly off (into space) is the string - which is the same force of gravitational pull we experience from our orbit round the sun.
What is the orbital time for the sun?
neptunes orbit time of the sun is 164.79 years to orbit the sun neptunes orbit time of the sun is 164.79 years to orbit the sun
What planets orbit lies closer to the sun than the earths?
Mercury and Venus are closer to the sun than Earth. That is where the phrase "third rock from the sun" originates.
What is a relatively small celestial objects made of rock and metal that orbit around the sun?
They are known as asteroids.
What is a chunk of rock that orbits around the Sun?
An asteroid or perhaps a comet depending on the orbit the object takes.
What is the name of large lumps of rock that orbit the sun?
Large lumps of rock that orbit the sun could refer to planets, asteroids, meteors.
What is known as the third rock from the sun?
The Earth is known as the third rock from the sun, since it is the third planet in orbit from the sun.
What do comets orbit other then the sun?
The comets in our Solar System orbit our Sun. Presumably, a comet could be trapped by a planet, so that it orbits that planet; and presumably, there are also comets around other stars.
What does a comet orbit?
Comets are small bodies of rock and ice which are in a highly eccentric orbit directly around our sun.
Why does the moon move in in orbit around the earth?
The moon is trapped in the gravitational pull of the earth. The earth and the moon are trapped in the gravitational pull of the sun. It is like whirling a small weight attached to a length of string round your head. The only thing stopping the weight to fly off (into space) is the string - which is the same force of gravitational pull we experience from our orbit round the sun.
What is a piece of rock in orbit around the Sun called?
It is either an asteroid (if reasonably large) or a meteoroid (if smaller). Some meteoroid swarms are the remnants of comets that lost their volatile compounds and broke up into pieces.
What is the orbital time for the sun?
neptunes orbit time of the sun is 164.79 years to orbit the sun neptunes orbit time of the sun is 164.79 years to orbit the sun
How many days are in the suns year?
Planets have years based on the time it takes them to orbit the sun. The sun does not orbit itself, so it does not have a year.Planets have years based on the time it takes them to orbit the sun.

If you could magically replace the Sun with a giant rock that has precisely the same mass earth's orbit would not change?
Earth’s orbit around the Sun is determined by the Sun’s gravitational pull, so replacing the Sun with a rock of equal mass would maintain Earth’s orbit due to the same level of gravitational attraction. However, without the Sun’s heat and light, Earth would likely become a frozen, inhospitable world unable to sustain life.
