Why do you think Earth revolves around the Sun and not the other way around?

Earth revolves around the sun, and not the other way around, because the sun is several hundred thousand times more massive than Earth is.

What is it called when the sun revolves around the Earth?
Rotation I think ?
Movement of earth in space?
Spinning on its axis, or rotating, is one of earth's movements and it gives us the experience of day and night. The earth also revolves around the sun (in its orbit) and this gives us the seasons [by way of the axial tilt] and years. These are two of several different movements that earth makes.
How long does it take the moon to revolve once?
Every 29 days nova net Actually, that is not true. The Earth rotates, making it appear like the moon revolves around the Earth once per day. But, as evident by the different stages of the lunar cycle, ie. different shapes, the moon revolves around the Earth in more than a day, rather, a 27.5 day cycle ending with a New Moon.
What does Mercury orbit around?
I think that it is the Sun because everything in our solar system, which is the Milky Way, revolves around the Sun.
The moon has phases too Why doesn't that make us think the moon revolves around the sun too rather than around Earth?
To see all the phases of Venus is impossible in the Earth-centred model of the Solar System. The case of the Moon is different. Simple geometry shows how you can see all the phases if it revolves around the Earth. If the Moon's phases were caused by it orbiting the Sun, then the Moon would have to be millions of miles from Earth. We know the distance to the Moon very accurately and it's obviously orbiting the Earth. But, of course, the Moon does go round the Sun too, along with Earth, during the year. I hope that's clear.
When the earth revolves around the sun what is it called?

Did Aristotle think that a force acts on the moon as revolves around the earth?
no!
What do you think revolves the earth around the sun or the sun around the earth?
I think they both revolve around their common center of mass. Of course, since the sun's mass is so much greater than the Earth's their common center of mass is inside the sun, and it appears almost as if the Earth revolves around a stationary sun.
What body in our solar system do you think is the the one focus of our moons orbit?
I assume you mean "the focus of the ellipse". That's the Earth, since the Moon revolves around Earth.
You only see one side of the earth because?
I think you meant moon. Its because the moon rotaes at the same speed it revolves around earth. So you can only see one side of it from earth.
What is the force that full object near the earth?
I think you mean, "pull." And that force is gravity. You see, our solar system revolves around the sun, and the sun's gravitational pull keeps all the planets circling around the sun day and night. Every object has gravity to pull on other objects, which is why the moon rotates around Earth, because of Earth's gravity. Hope this helps!

Why are most US Americans oblivious to world events?
Its because we think we are superior and we dont have to because were the "best". In other words, we think the world revolves around us.
What is earths apparent motion?
I guess that would be an earthquake. But what do I know. I think it is though.
Is Earth large?
no, not compared to other planets around us. Think about it.
Why don't you no longer believe that the sun revolves around earth?
because most people just think the moon goes up and comes down no it's still up in the sky but we can't see it because of the sun but it does orbit it, it goes around the earth as it turns
