Only 400 years too late with that question. Not bad going.

The earth does not orbit the sun. But it does take the earth 365 days to orbit around the sun

The sun doesn't orbit the earth, the earth orbits the sun in about 365 days- 1 year

Trick question... it seems that the earth orbits the sun... not the sun orbiting the earth.
"The basic reason why the planets revolve around, or orbit the sun (rotate actually is used to describe their spin, for example, the Earth completes one rotation about its axis every 24 hours, but it completes one revolution around the Sun every 365 days), is that the gravity of the Sun keeps them in their orbits. Just as the Moon orbits the Earth because of the pull of Earth's gravity, the Earth orbits the Sun because of the pull of the Sun's gravity."

The earth orbits the sun in one year

the sun doesn't orbit the earth, it's the other way around. It takes the earth 365.25 or 365 1/4 days to orbit the sun, the fractions accounting for the leap years.

the sun does not orbit the earth, it is the other way around and it takes 365.25 days to orbit the earth (8766 hours). the extra quarter day (six hours) is how we get a leap year every four years.
