Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Sun’s center is always located at one focus of the orbital ellipse. The Sun is at one focus. The planet follows the ellipse in its orbit, meaning that the planet to Sun distance is constantly changing as the planet goes around its orbit.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Sun is at the focus of the ellipse. Because the Sun is at the focus, not the center, of the ellipse, the planet moves closer to and further away from the Sun every orbit. The close point in each orbit is called perihelion.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Sun is the only star in our solar system. It is the center of our solar system, and its gravity holds the solar system together.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Sun orbits the center of the Milky Way, bringing with it the planets, asteroids, comets, and other objects in our solar system. Our solar system is moving with an average velocity of 450, 000 miles per hour (720, 000 kilometers per hour).

Detailed explanation-5: -Actually, the Sun is the Center of the Solar System Copernicus accurately reorganized the Solar System, putting the Sun at the center in a heliocentric model. And the Earth took its proper place, as just another planet orbiting the Sun – one of the 6 known to astronomers at the time.
