The correct statement about the movement of the Earth is:
C. Earth moves around the sun through its orbit.
Explanation:
1. The Earth orbits, or moves around, the sun in a nearly circular path. This path is called the Earth's orbit.
2. The Earth takes approximately 365.25 days to complete one orbit around the sun, which defines a year.
3. This orbital movement is what causes the changes in seasons and the variation in the length of days and nights throughout the year.
4. The Earth's orbit is an elliptical shape, meaning it's slightly oval-shaped, but for simplicity, it is often described as a circle.
Therefore, option C is true as it correctly describes the Earth's movement around the sun through its orbit.
