Why does the Earth move in its orbit around the Sun, while the Sun itself does not appear to move in the same way?
The Earth moves in its orbit around the Sun due to the force of gravity, which keeps it in a stable path. The Sun, on the other hand, does not appear to move in the same way because it is much more massive than the Earth and is the center of our solar system, so it remains relatively stationary as the planets orbit around it.

Why does the earth appear to change shape as it orbits the earth?
The earth can not orbit it's self. Orbit means one body going around another.
Do Mars and Mercury go around the Earth?
No, Mars and Mercury go around (orbit) the sun. The two planets appear to orbit Earth, but it's a result of the Earth rotating on its axis.

What is the name of the orbit that allows satellites to orbit the earth but yet appear stationary?
The Earth orbit in which satellites appear to be stationary is called the, "Geostationary Orbit". Some call it a synchronous orbit.
Which is larger the earth or the earths orbit?

What is it called when the moon moves around the earth?
This is called its orbit. Strictly, the moon and the earth both orbit their common centre of mass. The path of the moon around Earth is elliptical orbit. It takes about 29 days to complete one orbit of earth by moon.
