Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The earth keeps revolving around the sun, in an elliptical path called the orbit of earth. It completes one revolution around the sun in 365.256 days. Though the earth is always moving, we do not notice this motion because we are also part of it.

Detailed explanation-2: -The movement of the earth around the sun in a fixed path or orbit is called Revolution.

Detailed explanation-3: -Earth’s orbit defines a two-dimensional plane which we call the ecliptic. It takes roughly 365 days for the Earth to go around the Sun once. This means that the Earth is rushing through space around the Sun at a rate of about 67, 000 miles per hour!

Detailed explanation-4: -All the planets, asteroids, meteoroids, and comets in the solar system orbit the sun. This is called heliocentric orbit. Almost all these bodies also travel in the same orbital plane, a thin disk surrounding the sun and extending to the edge of the solar system.
