The Earth and all the planets follow Kepler's three laws of planetary motion, which means the Earth travels in an ellipse which takes us around the Sun at a distance that varies from 147.1 to 152.1 million kilometres, when the Earth is at the opposite ends of the major axis of the ellipse.
The orbit is technically an ellipse but practically almost a perfect circle, with the Sun 2.5 million km off-centre.
As the distance changes, so does the speed, but the sum of the kinetic energy and the potential energy stays constant and the orbit remains very stable.
The annual orbit of Earth around the sun is known as a year.
the earths orbit because the earths orbit is the size of earth + the size of the moon
REVOLUTION
The Earth's orbit around the sun is not a quadratic function, but rather an elliptical path defined by Kepler's laws of planetary motion. To graph it, you would have to use polar coordinates or parametric equations. You can represent the orbit using parametric equations x = acos(t) and y = bsin(t), where 'a' is the semi-major axis, 'b' is the semi-minor axis, and 't' is the parameter representing time.
It was in orbit around the earth.

The earths orbit around the sun is almost circular.
Ellipse.
Earth is held in elliptical orbit around the sun by gravity. It's motion can be thought of as due to a combination of gravity and inertia.
No. The moon's orbit around the earth is.
no
In planetary terms, when referring to the motion of planets and moons etc. the motion is describes as orbiting. Moons are on orbit around planets, while the planets are in orbit around the sun. An orbital motion.
Yes.
The annual orbit of Earth around the sun is known as a year.
The Earth's journey around the sun is called its orbit.
The Earth's orbit is almost circular. Technically, the "eccentricity" of the orbit is about 0.0167.
