Does the earth rotate or revolve around the sun?

Answer 1

The Earth orbits around the Sun is the simple answer, which is good enough for most people.

However, a more accurate answer is that they both orbit the center of mass of the solar system.

Because the Sun has nearly 99.9 percent of the mass of the solar system, the

Earth orbits a point

that's normally just outside the Sun's surface. So, the simple answer is fairly accurate.

Answer 2

The Earth both rotates on its axis and revolves around the sun. Rotation refers to the Earth spinning on its axis, causing day and night, while revolution is the Earth's orbit around the sun, taking approximately 365 days to complete one orbit.

Answer 3

Literally, Earth orbits around the sun.

it rotates on its axis.

but in general,

It does both. It rotates and orbits simultaneously. The rotation is what creates the effects of night and day. The orbit is what creates the seasons in the north and south hemispheres.

It takes Earth 24 hours to make one rotation and 365 days roughly 6 hours to orbit once around the sun.

Answer 4

The sun does NOT orbit around the earth it is the earth that orbits around the sun as well as all the other planets and it orbits possibly because of the gravity force but if the earth will get too close it will burn up and God made it so for us to have perfect conditions

Answer 5

The earth revolves around the sun.

(The earth rotates about it's axis. Rotation is the spinning of the planet; revolution of the planet is the planet traveling around the sun.)

Answer 6

We know that the earth rotates around the sun.

The earth rotates around the sun because the sun can only stay in one spot but the earth orbits around.

Answer 7

Earth orbits or revolves around the sun and rotates about its axis.

Answer 8
