Earth, Moon, & Sun SOL 4.7 an object that moves around another object in space satellite a huge burning sphere of gas star the path an object, such as a planet, makes as it revolves around a second object orbit a group of objects in space that move around a central star solar system The motion of a planet as it turns on its axis. This takes 24 hours to complete. rotation The movement of any object in orbit, such as Earth moving around the Sun, which takes 365 ¼ days to complete revolution an imaginary line which runs through both poles of a planet axis a large object that moves around a star planet the different shapes the moon seems to have as it orbits around Earth phases I was a Greek astronomer who believed in the Earth-centered model of the universe (Geocentric).
