Does the Earth really revolve around the sun?

Question

Or does it depend on your frame of reference?

Answer 1

In the strictest technical sense, the earth and sun revolve around their common center of gravity. Even then the locus of that changes because the sun and each planet are doing likewise at the same time.

Answer 2

It does for all practical purposes. The Sun and earth revolve around their common center of gravity technically, but the Sun is so much bigger that it controls that revolution in effect. Its diameter is 110 times as much as Earth's, so the volume is over a million times as great. One can easily see that the effect of the Earth in such a system is hardly significant.

Answer 3

you cant say it depends upon the frame of reference coz while looking from the earth we can see planets moving around the sun in the same direction as of the earth which cant b possible if it is frame of ref., so it is true that the earth revolves round the sun & it is not the frame of refrence.

Answer 4

To us Yeti. the earth is way to sacred to even ask such a question.

The sun actually revolves around the earth.though

but this Revelation of considerable consequence is in the great book of the Yeti Masters.The history and written wisdom of our people is in that book.
I snuck Into the great hall of the most revered one. .and read that once.
so be quiet about that
Its a secret

so Yes all things seem what they are by your own personal reference point in your head.

by the way we don't frame our references. we just hang them on the wall unframed.

May the Great Master Forest Sky Yeti be with you in Spirit ow little human.

Peace

Answer 5

Although you can make some convoluted math that has the Earth at the center of the universe and still predicts the positions of the planets, like Ptolemy did, it doesn't explain things like aberration of starlight and stellar parallax. Those effects are too small to have been measured in Ptolemy's time, but with modern instruments we can easily measure them.

So the Earth really does orbit the Sun.

Answer 6

It really does.

The Sun is not stationary, so the path of the Earth around, for example, the galactic core is more like a spiral -- but it's still a path that encircles the Sun.

Answer 7

Of Course , it revolve around the sun

Answer 8

The Earth is truly the center of all universes thereof, paragraph of Realigion has clues and hint on its,but as far as the Rocket Science or Esoterical dimension is concerns, the revolvement, as doesn't retrograde,as some of the inner planets do, so the Earth drift,if it ever, couldn't be measures easily, due to its its fixed point post-condition afterward.

Answer 9

It really revolves around the sun.
