Well, the earth still faces the sun. But the moons covers the sun.
Definitely the SUN. If the sun were where the moon is in relation to the earth, the earth would be consumed by the sun.

The sun doesn't travel around the earth. The earth travels around the sun.
The distances of the planets to the Sun are far greater than the sizes of the planets. For example: the Earth is about 12,000 km in diameter, but its distance to the Sun is 149,600,000 km.
Earth would be the size of a coarse grain of sand just under a millimeter in diameter.

earth, sun, red giant, and galaxy... :)
In the scale in which the sun is the size of a regulation golf ball, Earth is the size of one medium grain of sand, and the distance between them is about 458 centimeters.
The sun doesn't weigh anything, same as the earth. You can demonstrate this by tipping a spring scale set to zero upside down and reading the weight of the earth off it. The mass of our sun is, however, about 2 x 10^30 kg.
The sun is 695,500 km in radius, while the earth's radius is only 6378 km. This means that if the sun was about as tall as a regular desk, the earth would be the size of a small paperclip. You could fit about 1,000,000 whole earths inside of the sun, (slightly more or less depending on how you arranged them). The sun is also very dense, and weighs 332,900 times as much as the earth. In the related links section, you can find a to-scale picture of the sun next to the earth.
Given the ratio of the distance between the earth to the sun and the earth to the moon, calculations find an incredibly small number, almost 1/400. Multiplying by 400 meters gives a distance of just over 1.028 meters in this comparison.

If the scale Merriam of the Sun is 3000 mm, then the scale diameter of Saturn would be 274.2 mm.
Earth is the third planet from the sun.
The Earth orbits the sun. It takes a year for the Earth to orbit the sun.
