Which of the following is not true of the relationship between the sun and the earth?
Answer Details
Three out of the four options provided are true statements about the relationship between the sun and the earth. However, the statement "sun revolves round the earth" is not true. It is the earth that revolves around the sun. This movement of the earth around the sun is what causes changes in the seasons and the length of day and night. The sun's gravitational force is responsible for holding the earth in its orbit and supplying heat and light energy to the earth. The distance from the earth to the sun is approximately 150 million kilometers.
