  • Earth's Orbit: Elliptical Path, Direction & Orbital Period
    The Earth orbits the Sun.

    Here's a little more detail:

    * Elliptical Orbit: The Earth's orbit isn't perfectly circular, but slightly elliptical, meaning it's shaped like a slightly squashed circle.

    * Direction: The Earth orbits the Sun in a counterclockwise direction, as viewed from above the Earth's North Pole.

    * Time: It takes approximately 365.25 days for the Earth to complete one full orbit around the Sun, which is why we have a year.
