The Earth orbits the Sun. Once upon a time, we didn't believe this: We thought that the Sun orbited the Earth.

(The answer to "Is the Sun orbiting Earth?" is "No, the Earth is spinning, and the Sun stays put," not "No, the Earth orbits the Sun.")

I agree with what Jack said, in theory, but take your point in terms of the clarity of my writing.
