Does the earth move like swimming as it rotate around the sun?
I am not sure what you mean by "swimming". The movement of one object around a point outside it - in this case, the Earth around the Sun - is called "revolution". The movement of an object around an axis within the object is called "rotation". Earth does both. It revolves around the Sun with a period of one year, and it rotates around its own axis with a period of one day. Answer2: The earth revolves around the sun like a cork in a Ocean current. The current carries the earth around the sun. The Circulation Force is DelxcP where P is the earth's Momentum and c is the speed of light.
