What is it called when the sun revolves around the Earth?
The idea that the sun revolves around the Earth is called geocentrism. This theory was widely accepted until the 16th century when the heliocentric model, with the Earth and other planets revolving around the sun, was proposed by Copernicus.
Did Aristotle think that a force acts on the moon as it revolves around the earth?
No, Aristotle believed that the Moon moved in a circular orbit around the Earth due to its natural tendency to seek its proper place in the universe. He did not attribute the Moon's motion to a force acting on it.
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.
What is a rock object that revolves around the sun?
There are many rock objects that revolve around the sun, but I think you might be thinking of a comet.
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.
When the earth revolves around the sun what is it called?
Rotation I think ?

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.
Did Aristotle think that a force acts on the moon as revolves around the earth?
No, Aristotle did not believe that a force acts on the Moon as it revolves around the Earth. He proposed that objects naturally move in a circular motion in the heavens and that the celestial bodies move due to their nature, not due to any external force.
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.

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
In which direction does Venus revolve?
i think Venus revolves around the sun in a clockwise manner.
