There was no straightforward proof for the motion of Earth until 1725 when James Bradley discovered stellar aberration. This is (apparent) yearly change in positions of all stars in the sky due to Earth's own motion. Aberration arises due to adding up of the speed of light coming from the star and Earth's own speed. This is a very complex phenomenon and its description requires some math.
Another, much simpler, consequence of Earth's motion is stellar parallax. If Earth changes its position relative to the stars, than the stars should appear to change position in the course of the year.
A common experiment illustrating parallax is just looking at a close object (a finger, a pencil etc) with one eye at the time. When you switch from one to the other eye, the object will appear to move against the background. Closer the object is to your eyes, more pronounced the effect is.
Parallax should not be confused with aberration: parallax arises from the change of Earth's position and depends on the distance to the star, while aberration is caused by Earth's great speed and does not depend on how far the star is.
Parallax of a star was first measured by Bessel in 1838. It was not measured before because this change of star's apparent position is very small (the stars are very far from us). This was a very important discovery because Aristotle himself mentioned the lack of observable stellar parallax as the proof that the Earth is not moving (he didn't have a telescope and didn't know that the stars are so distant).
A third discovery proving Earth's motion was that of Doppler effect. Wavelength of the light that we receive from objects moving relative to us becomes a little shorter (i.e. bluer) when we approach the source and becomes longer (i.e. redder) when we move away from the source. When Earth moves toward a star, the star will appear slightly bluer (only high-tech instruments can measure this) while it will appear redder when Earth is on the other side of the orbit and moves in the opposite direction. This effect proves that Earth has a velocity relative to the stars, similar to aberration.
So, aberration (slight change in stellar positions due to Earth's speed), parallax (slight change in stellar positions due to Earth's changing position) and Doppler effect (slight change in color of stars due to Earth's speed) all prove that Earth is moving around the Sun, and not the other way round.
What's next? You going to believe that "Dr. Dino" crap too? Do some REAL research!

Please, don't try to prove your faith is true,I hate it when somebody does that.The bible is wrong in his concept of th Noah ark.It say's that the flood drown the whole world.While archieologist proof that in the era of the flood,there are still some civillization that live without being drown by the flood.This include the eleventh dynasty of Egyptian civillization and third Babylonian of civillization.The bible is also wrong that it say the sun and the moon both emit light.While only the sun emit light.In the Genesis, chapter one,verses 16,said,"and god made two great light,the greater light to rule the day, the lesser light to rule the night."And how could you say the bible is 100% true?I'm not disrespecting the Christians,I'm just telling the truth.

So you believe in the Science that you CHOOSE to believe in? The scientist that delivers the results that seem to support your theories is automatically correct is he?
You can't on the one hand condemn science and then on the other use a scientific experiment to uphold your beliefs! Proof of the Earth's movement may not have been proven in THIS experiment but has been proven in countless others.
I suggest you try and open your mind a little.

If Einstein is correct in that all motion is relative, then the Earth is indeed the center of the solar system from our collective perspective. The only reason people say the earth moves around the sun is because this model simplifies the structure of the solar system.

Morons quoting from a article he found on the net. The Bible is a non fiction book written by some adult parents to keep there kids inline. We all know this

Dude, I'm a christian....and I still think that what you are doing is crap! Using old data to try to refute obvious scientific proofs is not the way to open hearts and minds.

Your "science is outdated" and if you believe the Earth is at rest how do you explain the slight bugle at the equator?
