Martin McCoustra answered on 22 Feb 2024:
The world move around the Sun in a not quiet circular orbit. It is held in that orbit by gravity and it’s motion is a consequence of the rotation that was present in the gas cloud from which the Sun and planets condensed. This idea was first proposed by the Greeks well over 2000 years ago … check out this link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aristarchus_of_Samos#:~:text=310%20%E2%80%93%20c.,its%20axis%20once%20a%20day.

Martin is correct in so far as he goes but the world also moves in lots of other ways.
The earth rotates on its axis giving rise to night and day. Also if you study plate tectonics you will find that the surface of the Earth is also moving which is one of the driving forces for volcanoes and earth quakes. These also cause the world to vibrate as does Schuman Resonance.
In addition to the world orbiting the sun, our entire solar system is part of a galaxy called the milky way which is orbiting a massive black hole at its center.
And all the different galaxies in the universe appear to be moving away from each other.
As you can see there are many different ways of answering your question, which is one of the reasons why I love science and find it so fascinating. A simple question can give open up so many ideas and give rise to so many different areas of scientific investigation. This was something observed by Michael Faraday who gave a series of six Christmas Lectures on the ‘The Chemical History of a Candle’
