And, indeed, if we look at the most dominant wavelength of the sun. The sun is currently brightening at about one percent per hundred million years, and that rate is gradually increasing.

As i asked before, separate. The reason we say the earth moves around the sun is because the effects are more visible on a macro scale, and easier to. 3 the sun, moon, earth (and so on) all move around each other. The sun does not rise, it is the horizon that goes down.
How would you prove to them that earth orbits the sun?
