No way man! You can't tell me that the Earth goes 'round the Sun.???
Are you blind?? Look out your window in the morning. The sun is East. In the afternoon it is West.

Did you feel any movement? NO! So I am right All the rest are wrong.

Think about it. The reference point.

You can not say I am wrong. For simplicity. Yes, the Earth goes 'round the sun, Rotation, night & day, blah blah.

Everything rotates around the Earth. The stars, the Sun & the Moon.
Install the Sun as the reference point. The Earth's Moon becomes a "Wanderer"

How does the Solar System appear in relation to the Milky Way?

Okay too heavy, brain drain. Gee's I love astronomy there is so much in complexities.

Cheers
