  • No. It's the other way around.
  • Of course the sun doesn't revolve around the earth.
  • Not unless you are religious and condemn any scientific advancement that contradicts your fairy tales.
  • From mans perspective, YES it does. We see it rise in the east and set in the west. However, in reality, from a neutral perspective, ie someone not connected to either the Earth or the Sun, NO it does not. The Earth orbits the Sun which in turn orbits the centre of our galaxy.
  • It takes one year for the earth to make a complete revolution around the sun...How many times have you been around the sun?
  • man how old are u? lol :D in the past scientists use to think that way but now they found out that earth goes around the sun :D
  • I learned that in 3rd grade! The earth goes around the sun, or are you just kidding?
  • You mean it doesn't? S**T!!!
  • No the Earth revolves around the Sun an the Sun revolves around the Milky Way's center of mass.
  • Might explain why many believe it sets on their asses.
  • It doesn't I thought you might like it with me not everything is causality if it was I'd hurt a lot of people.
  • The movements are ; that the Earth turn around the Sun, and Sun turn around the Earth, and the whole thing swim in the deep space, means everything is in mouvement even our galaxy is in movement. Motion of the Sun Relative to Local Stars First, the Sun and the other stars in its vicinity partake of the general rotation of the galaxy (the Milky Way Galaxy rotates once about every 225 million years). This corresponds to an average velocity of about 220 km/s. The space velocities that we measure for other stars then correspond to deviations from this average motion for the stars around the Sun. This happens because the Sun and the stars near it are on somewhat different orbits around the center of the galaxy, so at any one time the Sun is overtaking some stars and being passed by others. The Solar Apex and Antapex This motion of the Sun with respect to the local field of stars is in the direction of an imaginary point in the constellation Hercules, near the bright star Vega. This point is called the solar apex, and the Sun is moving toward it (relative to the nearby stars) at a net speed of about 19.7 km/s. The point on the opposite side of the sky from which the Sun appears to be moving away is called the {em solar antapex}. Thus, every second we move about 20 km closer to the star Vega. However, there is plenty of time before we get there: Vega is 26.5 light years away! As an exercise, calculate how long it will take the Sun (and therefore the Earth) to travel 26.5 LY at a speed of 20 km/s.
