Basically, yes, it is impossible for that to happen. Technically, both of them orbit their common center of mass as opposed to one orbiting the other. However, since the Sun is so much more massive than the Earth, the common center of mass is inside the Sun, so saying that the Earth orbits the Sun is more or less true, and certainly a lot more true than saying the Sun orbits the Earth.
What else can I help you with?
Does it take the sun 1 year to orbit the earth?
The sun doesn't orbit the earth, and it takes one year for the earth to orbit the sun.
How long does it take for Mars to orbit the sun compared to Earth?
It takes Earth about 365 Earth days to orbit the sun. It takes Mars about 687 Earth days to orbit the sun. This means it takes Mars about 1.88 times longer to orbit the sun than Earth.
What planets orbit between the sun and earth?
Mercury and Venus orbit between the Sun and Earth.
Earth moves in a elliptical orbit around the?
Sun. The elliptical shape of Earth's orbit is why it's sometimes closer and sometimes farther from the Sun, causing variations in seasons and temperatures. This motion is governed by gravity, keeping Earth in its orbit around the Sun.
How much time does it take for Jupiter to orbit earth?

Does it take the sun 1 year to orbit the earth?
The sun doesn't orbit the earth, and it takes one year for the earth to orbit the sun.
Has Earth's average distance from the sun increased?
It is not presently known whether the Earth's orbit around the sun is or has been increasing or decreasing. It is generally believed to be stable, but in 1989 a scientist showed that the Earth's orbit around the sun is chaotic, and a tiny error determining the position of Earth makes it impossible to predict Earth's orbit around the sun (or determine what it was in the distance past). It is believed that the Earth's orbit will become wider in about 500 million years, when the sun reaches its next phase and loses a lot of its mass. However, the Sun will swell and, it is believed, envelop Earth.
Which two planets orbit the sun not the earth?

What do you call the path on which the Earth moves 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.
