What does heliocentric mean and how does it affect us?

Heliocentrism is the astronomical model in which the earth and planets revolve around the Sun in the center of the Solar System. Heliocentric is the adjective describing this system.


Why does the Earth revolve around us?

It doesn't. When something moves around something else, we talk about "revolution" (verb: revolves); the Earth revolves around the Sun. When something moves around its own center, we talk about "rotation" - in this case, the Earth rotates around its axis. It neither revolves nor rotates around us.


How long does it take for it to revolve around the sun?

On Earth, it takes us 365 1/4 days to make one revolution on Earth. It takes 88 days for Mercury to revolve around the sun. It takes 225 days on Venus to make a full revolution around the sun. It takes Mars 1.9 years to make one revolution around the sun. Jupiter takes 11.9 years to make one revoultion around the sun. Saturn takes 29.5 years to make one revolution around the sun. It takes Uranus 84 years to make one full trip around the sun. It takes Neptune 165 years to do the same thing. I am includeing Pluto too for those Pluto haters out there. It take Pluto 249 years to make one complete revolution around the sun.


How many times does the earth revolve around the sun each yearwhen viewed from above the north pole?

365.24 times. The odd almost-a-quarter day is what gives us our leap year cycle.


Where is the sun at dawn midday and set?

In the same place it always is. Don't forget that the planets revolve AROUND the sun. Of course, to us the Sun seems to move because the Earth rotates. The exact position of the Sun in the sky depends on where you are and the time of year. In simple terms: The Sun rises in the East and sets in the West. At midday the Sun is to the South, if you are in the Northern Hemisphere. It is to the North if you are in the Southern hemisphere.

Does the earth revolves around the sun very fast or very slow?

If you are talking about miles per hour, very slow. It takes us a year to revolve around the sun. Some people think it takes us a day, but that's when we revolve around our axis one time. The revolving around the sun is what causes the seasons also.


How long does it take the milky way galaxy to revolve around the sun?

It doesn't. The Milky Way galaxy is 100,000-120,000 light-years in diameter. The Sun's mass is nowhere near large enough to make the entire galaxy revolve around itself. The Milky Way appears to revolve around us because of our position on Earth. The Earth spins incredibly fast, and is moving much faster than the sun, so therefore the Sun also appears to be rotating around us. However, the Sun orbits the Galactic core, once every (roughly) 226 million years.


How long does it takes the earth to orbit or revolve around the sun once?

One year. One revolution of the earth gives us day and night. One orbit around the sun gives us the four seasons (winter, spring, summer, autumn).

What caues planets to revolve around the sun?

The sun has a large mass of gravity. And the sun uses that gravity to keep us from flying away. Even though we try to, the sun keeps us in balance. All the movement on the planets move the planets farther away if we didn't have the suns gravity. And because there is no friction in space we keep on moving around very slow. But the farther away the planet is. The slower it goes around.


Do you move around the Galaxy or does the Galaxy move around us?

none of those. milky way is a part of the galaxy and our solar system is a part of it. in this solar system the planets revolve around the sun and rotate on thier own axis


Is all the stars in the sky planets?

No, they are very much like our own star which we call the sun. They are so far away that they do not provide us with light and heat like our own star, the sun. The only planets you can see from earth with the naked eye are our own planets which, like us, revolve around the sun.
