How do days work?

You may be wondering how a day makes any sense when the sun is orbiting Earth. Well the answer is quite simple actually. Due to the high mass of the sun the sun rotates very quickly around Earth. Earth does not rotate so the movement of the sun is actually the sun orbiting around Earth, sort of like the "moon".

Is the Moon a planet?

Is the moon a planet? Well technically according to the ECSST the moon would be considered a planet and so would the sun. Sounds weird, right? Well here at ECSST HQ we like to refer to the "planets" orbiting Earth, satellites. So you could say that the "moon", "sun" and "planets" are actually all moons according to the ECSST.

The Theory

The Earth Center of the Solar System Theory or ECSST is the theory that Earth does not orbit the sun but instead the Sun and the bodies in our Solar System orbit Earth. The center of our solar system is Earth (spinning on its axis) and closest to us is the "moon" in an orbit, Venus being the next (obviously at different distances), Mercury (the closest planet to the Sun), the Sun, Mars (1st planet out of the Sun), the Asteroid Belt, Jupiter (and its moons orbiting Jupiter), Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.
