do you think Earth is also traveling around the sun just like in your activity? what are the evidences that the Earth is indeed travelling around the sun?
Answer (1)
Yes, the Earth is traveling around the Sun, just like in the activity. There are several pieces of evidence that prove this motion:1. Changing Seasons – The tilt of the Earth's axis and its revolution around the Sun cause different parts of the Earth to receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year, leading to the four seasons.2. Parallax Effect – When astronomers observe stars from different positions in Earth's orbit (six months apart), nearby stars appear to shift slightly against the background of distant stars. This shift, called stellar parallax, proves that Earth moves.3. Apparent Movement of the Sun – The Sun appears to move across the sky at different positions throughout the year. This is because the Earth is orbiting around it.4. Doppler Effect on Light – Scientists have measured slight changes in the color (wavelength) of light coming from stars, indicating Earth's movement in space.5. Foucault’s Pendulum – This experiment shows that the Earth rotates, which supports the idea that it also orbits the Sun.
