earth & sky is static & sun is in motion?

Answer 1

Nothing in this universe is static! The earth rotates on its axis and also revolves around the sun, of course. But also, the sun is merely one of at least 100 billion other stars that are spinning in the spiral galaxy we call the Milky Way. And that is only one of about 100 billion other galaxies! Too: the Milky Way and all the other galaxies are receding away from the initial point of the Big Bang, which was a pinpoint of immense energy that began the universe about 15 billion years ago.

Answer 2

Nothing in the universe is static! The earth rotates on its axis and also revolves around the sun. the sun also in motion.

Answer 3

From the POV of a person standing on the surface of the earth, it appears that the sun is moving and the ground is steady because the person is so close to the earth. objects on the surface of the earth are, somewhat, "attached" to the ground that they are actually carried by the earth as it rotates thereby giving the impression that the sun is moving.

From the referrence frame of the person, the ground is not moving because the ground and everything attached to it is within his referrence frame. However, the sun is not part of that ref frame and therefore appears to be moving.

if you would fly off the planet and put yourself at a distance where you can see the earth as a whole (in effect removing the ground as part of your ref frame), then you would see that the earth is the one actually moving and the sun is not.

Answer 4

The sky: moon, sun and stars all revolve around the earth, dummy. Don't question authority.
