Does the Earth circle the sun?
Sounds like a trick question, but it isn't. Think about it. If you know, spit it out.

No. It orbits, and it's not "circular", unlike some forms of "logic".

No, they both circle a common point relative to all the gravitational forces acting upon them.
This is how we find planets in other systems.

And, it's actually a spiral elliptical shape if you don't use an, erm... Heliocentric point of view.
That's a special word, heliocentric.

I was trying to stay in that 8th grade reading zone we all aspire too.
You kinda ruined it there, Dave

You might really wish to ask the right question, Paul.
Are you asking why it's going to take another 105 years to see the transit of Venus again?

Clue - the transit prompted the thought... then it came to me... but nothing to do with the transit. Read your PM
Well, if you wanna get esoteric, I read something a long time ago that it's actually chaotic... something about too many masses affecting the system at the same time. Which makes sense to me. I dig astronomy and astrophysics from an amateur "fanboi" status.
I sense the game is afoot, however. It may be a trick question.
Seems the only way this "lib" can impress Paul is with a long boring dissertation about obscure
technical skills like typefaces and font management. I should have flown away and avoided it.
I accept defeat, rolled over and pissed myself.
