As of now, Earth is the third planet from the Sun in our solar system. It orbits at an average distance of about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers) from the Sun. Earth is currently in its usual position within the solar system, revolving around the Sun while also rotating on its axis, which creates day and night. The specific date and time of year will determine Earth's position in its orbit around the Sun, affecting seasonal changes.

What are the evidences that earth revolves around the sun?

Several pieces of evidence. For example, the parallax: the apparent position of a nearby star changes slightly, because of the change in Earth's position. That is, its position now will not be exactly the same as its position 6 months later, when Earth is on the other side of its orbit. This is used to calculate the distance of nearby stars.

What describes your position on the earth?

Longitude and Latitude are generally what are used to describe your position on the earth. Longitude describes your East-West position relative to some point, and latitude describes your North-South position relative to the Equator. These were historically measured with astronomical observations, but are now most commonly determined by Global Positioning System instruments.

How long does it take earth to return to the same position?

There is no way of knowing when or even if the Earth returns to the same absolute position, but if you mark Earth's position relative to the Sun's position, then it takes 365.25636 days, roughly equal to 365 1/4 days.

When Earth is closest to the sun the northern hemisphere is in winter Given the effects of precession will this still be the case in 13000 years?

No; in 13,000 years, the precession of Earth will have changed the axis half a cycle (the full cycle is about 26,000 years), so that the position of the axis will be the opposite of what it is now.No; in 13,000 years, the precession of Earth will have changed the axis half a cycle (the full cycle is about 26,000 years), so that the position of the axis will be the opposite of what it is now.No; in 13,000 years, the precession of Earth will have changed the axis half a cycle (the full cycle is about 26,000 years), so that the position of the axis will be the opposite of what it is now.No; in 13,000 years, the precession of Earth will have changed the axis half a cycle (the full cycle is about 26,000 years), so that the position of the axis will be the opposite of what it is now.


How long does it take the moon to orbit the earth from position one to position four?
