The object that the Earth moves around is located at the center of our solar system, known as the Sun. This gravitational interaction between the Earth and the Sun is what keeps the Earth in its orbit around the Sun.
The moon moves counter-clockwise around the earh
The earth moves around the sun in a elliptical orbit.
They are both satellites to an object which means that they are similar. The moon revolves around the earth, while it is also orbiting around the sun. There is really no difference, but the moon is a satellite that revolves around an object that is turning, and the earth is an object that only turns around the sun.
The name of the path the earth takes around the sun is known as the orbit. The earth takes slightly over 365 to complete its revolution round the sun.
The first man to discover that the earth moves around the sun was an Italian scientist named Galileo Galilei.
they both were scientist and both were astronomers and taught that the earth moves around the sun :)
Earth itself moves around the Sun.

Pluto moves around the Sun, not the earth
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).

earth
this path is called its orbit :)
No. Earth moves in an ellipse around the Sun; when it is closest to the Sun (at its periapsis, in January), it moves faster, and when it is furthest from the Sun (at its apapsis), it moves slower.
