What did aristarchus say about the relative motions of the earth and sun?
Yes, Aristarchus of Samos discovered that the earth revolves around the sun.
What is the difference between axis and orbit?
The axis of a planet is the imaginary pole of a planet in which it rotates. Say for example you have a globe. It is tilted slightly on an angle. That is the axis. The orbit is the place in which a body revolves around another, like all the planets to the sun, or Luna to Earth, etc.
How many period of rotations does Saturn have each day?
The period of rotation of Saturn is 1 Saturn day. Measured in comparision to Earth, Saturn rotates about once every 10 Earth hours, so you could say that Saturn rotates 2.4 times an Earth day.
Did Galileo say that the Sun revolves around the Earth?
Yes, Copernicus discovered that the Earth revolves around the sun. He called it heliocentrism or having a heliocentric universe. In short, Copernicus' theory displaced others that stated that the Earth was at the center of the universe.
Does an artificial satellite rotate in its own axis or does it just revolve around the planet?
An artificial satellite can rotate on its own axis in a motion known as spin stabilization. This rotation helps to control its orientation in space. In addition to rotating on its own axis, the satellite also orbits, or revolves, around the planet it is orbiting.
Is earth revolves around the sun?
A commonly accepted theory is that the Earth rotates around the sun in 365.25 days, so yes. Though you could say that is moves in a straight line and that spacetime is curved by the gravitation of the Sun, but if you don't know the Earth rotates around the Sun you probably don't know general relativity yet.
How do you say 'revolves' in Chinese?
圍繞 wéiràoTo say "revolves around" you would say, for example:The moon revolves around the earth.月球圍繞著地球。
What can you say about the earth direction of rotation?
It rotates from west to east.

When the earth rotates, it is called orbit so we say the earth orbits around the sun.
How does the earth move around?
There are several answers to your question: * The Earth rotates around its axis (the line between the North and South pole) once a day. * The Earth revolves around the Sun once a year. * The Earth, together with the Sun and the Solar System, revolves around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy in approximately 250 millions years! The Earth, Solar System, and Galaxy all move together through the universe, but it is difficult to say that it moves "around" anything in the process.

How long does it take for moon to revolve around the sun?
The moon revolves around its axis and it orbits the earth. The earth and the moon orbit the sun. Neither the earth nor the moon revolves around the sun; however, the two of them take 365 days to complete an orbit around the sun.
How do the clouds shield earth from the sun during rainy season since the earth rotates?
Well this is the misconception most of the people have. In the first place as far as rotation of earth is concerned, earth is no different from clouds. When you say earth rotates, it includes the atmosphere(the gaseous layer which surrounds it) as well. So as a whole earth along with the gaseous layer around it rotates, thus effectively there is no relative motion between earth and clouds due to the rotation of earth. Hope this has answered your question! --Naveen Gara
