when the earth rotate it self from the left to left ; it also rotate the sun from the right  now where is sun?

Because of the earths rotation on it's axis the sun appears to travel left to right across the sky in the Northern hemisphere. It is merely an illusion, for all intents and purposes as the earth goes round the sun, we can say that the sun is stationary for the purpose of this question.

The Sun does rotate/turn on an axis by itself, but it also rotates around a huge black hole in the center of our galaxy, and it takes a very, very, VERY long time to complete one rotation.\n\nIt rotates around the black hole with similar principles to that of earth revolving around the sun, and yes, eventually it will be swallowed by the black hole.

Because the sun does rise in the east and set in the west.  \n\nWe do know now that the reason is not because the sun is revolving around the earth, but because the earth spins on its axis.

Finally, the gravitational pull between the Earth and Sun causes the Earth to travel around, or "orbit", the Sun at a velocity of 29.8 km/sec. At the same time, the Earth also turns on its axis causing the daily cycle of day and night. This "rotational velocity" is approximately .47 km/sec. That means that at the same time we're hurdling through space at nearly 67,000 mph, we're also spinning around in circles at over 1000 mph! Whew! Almost makes you dizzy, doesn't it?

the Earth 3rd planet from the sun; the only planet were life exists; the Earth moves around the sun.\n\nto know more about the earth or the astronomy and space contact me :)

The Earth rotates on its access and revolves around the Sun.

The sun does not orbit the Earth (LOL).  The reason we have night and day is because it takes the Earth about 24 hours to rotate (spin).  Each time a side is facing the Sun, it is day, and when it is turned away it is in night.

Yes, the Sun revolves around it's own axis, just like the Earth.  It spins around every 27 days.  It just doesn't ORBIT anything.\n\nedit: actually, it orbits the galaxy.  Takes a few hundred million years.

None specifically. \n\nAll celestial bodies rotate.  The earth is no different.

Yes, as long as definitions are consistent.\n\nThe Moon rotates from west to east, the same direction that it revolves around the earth. At its equator, the Moon rotates at a speed of about 10 miles (16 kilometers) per hour. \n\nThe Earth rotates on its axis from West to East with its axis in the North/South direction.\n\nIt is sometimes thought that the Moon does not rotate, because it always presents the same face (roughly) to a point on Earth. However this is because the time it takes to complete one rotation is almost the same as the time it takes to complete one revolution around the earth; not because it does not rotate.

As the earth rotates on its axis, the atmosphere is rotating with it.  Otherwise there'd be a constant wind, like in a fast-moving car on a still day,  as we were dragged through the atmosphere at the speed of the earth's rotation, yes?   And all winds would blow from east to west, and we know that's not the case.  \n\nBut the rotation of the earth does have an important effect on the weather.   A strange thing about rotating a globe is that a point on the equator has to move much faster to make it all the way around the waist of the globe in 24 hours than a point up around the Arctic circle has to move to make it all the way around the Arctic circle in 24 hours. (you can test this with a piece of string: The length of a piece of string wrapped around a globe at the level of New York is much shorter than a piece of string wrapped around the globe at the equator, right?)\n\n  You know that, looking at the globe with the sun behind your back, as the world turns, the continents pass off to the right (the east). New York crosses into the sun at dawn while San Francisco is still on the dark side of the globe.  Because the surface of the earth at the  equator is rotating faster than the surface of the earth 500 miles north of the equator, so is the air above it.  But the air above the equator isn't attached to the air above a point 500 miles north.  So the faster-moving and slower-moving air rub past each other.  This forms a kind of bow wave at the equator, like the wave that peels back from the bow of a boat as it moves through the water. Think of a big arrow pointing to the right and wrapped around  the equator.  So the air peels  back to either side of the equator, and forms a swirling current--curling counter-clockwise above the equator and clockwise below it.  This is called the coriolis wind.  It's one important factor in where weather comes from.

The Earth is rotating around an axis (called its rotational axis). Some objects rotate about a horizontal axis, like a rolling log. Some objects, such as a skater, rotate about a vertical axis. The Earth's axis is tipped over about 23.5° from vertical.\n\nHow do we define up and down in space? What would "vertical" mean? For the Earth, we can think of vertical as straight up and down with respect to the plane in which the Earth orbits the Sun (called the ecliptic).\n\nEarth's rotational axis points in the same direction relative to the stars, so that the North Pole points towards the star Polaris. Think of the Earth as a spinning top, tipped over to one side. Over very long time periods (thousands of years) the direction of Earth's axis slowly changes due to precession.\n\nThe Earth rotates around once in 24 hours - that's a rate of 1000 miles per hour!. The time it takes for the Earth to rotate completely around once is what we call a day. It's Earth's rotation that gives us night and day.\n\nThe combined effect of the Earth's tilt and its orbital motion result in the seasons

In astronomy, heliocentrism is the theory that the Sun is at the center of the Universe and/or the Solar System. The word is derived from the Greek (Helios = "Sun" and kentron = "Center"). Historically, heliocentrism is opposed to geocentrism and currently to modern geocentrism, which places the earth at the center. (The distinction between the Solar System and the Universe was not clear until modern times, but extremely important relative to the controversy over cosmology and religion.

It goes back to when the solar system was formed.  The sun (and the planets, for that matter) were formed when a gigantic cloud of gas and dust collapsed.  When that cloud collapsed, it had something called 'angular momentum', which really just means that it was spinning a little bit.  When a large, slowly spinning thing collapses to something smaller, the rate of rotation speeds up (think about an ice skater that pulls her arms in...she spins up!).  Anyway, so now we have all this gas and dust in a disk that's orbiting the new Sun.  The dust eventually forms into planets.  As the dust collapses into new planets, the same thing happens, and the planets start spinning themselves.  So basically, the earth and moon and whatnot spin because of angular momentum.  I hope this made sense/helped!

How would we know?\n\nThe orbit of the earth is a plane.  Consider clockwise and counterclockwise rotation.  Btw, those terms come from the way a shadow moves on a sundial.

Earth ROTATES about itself.\nIt REVOLVES around the sun.\nThere is a difference betwen earth's ROTATION and \nREVOLUTION.\n\nROTATION takes 24 hours.\nREVOLUTION takes 365.255 days\n\nPeople say, 'the sun is up or the sun rises'.  This is conventional.  You can't expect people to speak technically and scientifically.  A scientist won't speak like that.\n\nthe sun is fixed in its position and it rotates about itself.  only the earth and other planets are rotating about themselves and revolve around the sun.  Sun is the centre of gravity for them.  If they don't ROTATE around themself, they will be attracted by the sun and they will become the food for the sun's fire.  They ROTATE only to counter-attact that gravitational force by the sun.\n\n\nExamples for u:\n\nROTATION:  Imagine a top, it rotates around itself\nREVOLUTION:Consider a circular circuit in a motor car race.\n\nEarth does these two things.

It is because of the Earth's rotation.
